Liverpool have had two bids rejected by Monaco for winger Thomas Lemar, according to Sky sources.
Sky Sports News understands the latest offer made by Liverpool was around £64.8m, having previously submitted an offer worth £55.5m.
It is also understood Monaco want Lemar to stay at the club beyond this summer’s transfer window.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp last week expressed his desire to strengthen his squad further after his side secured qualification to the Champions League group stage.
Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Dominic Solanke have been the only new arrivals at Anfield so far this summer, while long-term target Naby Keita will join next summer for a club record £48m fee.
Speaking after their 6-3 aggregate win over Hoffenheim last week, Jurgen Klopp said: “It’s [Champions League qualification] a big influence on the transfer market, especially if we do it more often.
