Liverpool are interested in signing Schalke left-back Sead Kolasinac, according to Bild .

The Bosnian international is out of contract at the end of the season and the Reds are reportedly lining up a swoop.

However, Jurgen Klopp's side face competition from Manchester City and Roma for the highly-rated 23-year-old.

The Reds have been using James Milner at left-back, with Alberto Moreno as back-up.

The French youngster joined the Bhoys in the summer, joining from Championship side Fulham after seeing his contract expire at Craven Cottage.

In Glasgow the 20-year-old has shone, scoring 17 goals in 29 games, and subsequently been linked with a big-money move.

Tottenham are long-time admirers of the France Under-21 international, while Liverpool have sent scouts to watch him on numerous occasions already this term.

German league leaders RB Leipzig have also been mentioned as a potential destination.

“No, I don’t think it will be January," said Rodgers, speaking to talkSPORT.

The announcement comes just days after it was revealed that former Reds skipper Steven Gerrard will be returning to Anfield in a coaching capacity.

It is not yet known whether Gerrard will replace Beale as the U23 boss, although the 36-year-old is unlikely to be handed such a senior position within the club's academy at this stage of his coaching career.

Beale, who is heading to South America to become the assistant manager at Sao Paulo, joined Liverpool in September 2012.

He initially worked with the Reds' U15s and U16s but became U23 boss in August 2014.
