Samuel Eto'o has emerged as a target of Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez who is looking to expand his attacking options.
Reports on Tuesday suggest that Benitez is ready to make an £18million offer to Barcelona for the Cameroon international.
The former Valencia coach is eager to partner the 28-year-old with Fernando Torres in attack for the Merseyside giants.
A source close to the player told English newspaper The Sun: "Benitez likes Samuel a lot. Everything is possible for this summer.
"It will depend on Barcelona's results as well if they decide to buy David Villa.
"Eto'o is not a player to sit on the bench."
The former Mallorca hitman's contract with Barca comes to an end at the conclusion of next season.
With that fact in mind, La Blaugrana may well sell their prize asset in the summer, or risk losing him for nothing in 12 months time.
