Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is considering an approach from Inter Milan for Lucas Leiva.

The Serie A outfit want to sign the Reds' longest-serving player on loan in January with a view to a permanent transfer next summer.

Lucas is a popular and highly-respected member of Klopp's squad but he has found his opportunities limited so far this season – making just three Premier League starts.

Klopp has used him at centre-back rather than in the centre of midfield but he currently has Joel Matip, Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan ahead of him in the pecking order.

Inter have re-ignited their interest having failed in previous attempts to lure the Brazilian away from Anfield.

Lucas has clocked up 326 appearances for Liverpool since signing in a £5million deal from Gremio in his homeland in 2007.

The 29-year-old has 18 months remaining on his current contract at Anfield.
