Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna are trying to set up a double deal for Liverpool pair Tiago Ilori and Luis Alberto.

Alberto is already on loan at Deportivo and they are ready to make it permanent.

Midfielder Alberto joined the club for around £7m in the summer of 2013, but was unable to break through into the first team as Brendan Rodgers' side came within a whisker of winning the Premier League title.

The Spaniard was loaned to Malaga in June 2014 before joining Depor last summer, and the 23-year-old is surplus to requirements under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Depor also want Portuguese defender Ilori, who had a spell at Aston Villa but has now returned to Anfield .

The centre-back has barely featured at Anfield since joining for around £7m in 2013 and has had spells on loan with Granada and Bordeaux before joining Villa in the summer.

Klopp recalled the 23-year-old in January to provide cover to a depleted squad, but Ilori has no future at Anfield and the Reds have already lined up Joel Matip on a free transfer this summer.
