Liverpool have reportedly retained an interest in signing Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge this summer.
The Norway international has just endured an injury-hit campaign as the Blades were relegated from the Premier League.
Nevertheless, with a £35m release clause said to be present in his contract, the 23-year-old remains one of the club's most prized assets.
According to the Sheffield Star, Liverpool are one of a number of clubs who continue to monitor the situation in the hope of a deal being agreed for a lower fee.
A previous report has claimed that Arsenal have already failed with a £17.2m bid for the midfielder, who still has three years left on his contract.
At a time when Sheffield United are said to be open to a sale, Berge allegedly has little desire to play in the Championship.
