The Reds were desperate to steal midfielder Naby Keita, 22, from the Bundesliga outfit during the summer transfer window.
And although they agreed a deal worth about £55m for the Guinea international, he won’t link up with them until next year.
Liverpool have also been credited with interest in Keita’s Leipzig team-mate Timo Werner, who plays in attack.
However, it seems the next man the Merseysiders have lined up to swap the Red Bull Arena for Anfield is 18-year-old defender Upamecano.
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Liverpool are eyeing up the France Under-19 international.
Upamecano has made five first-team appearances for Leipzig so far this season.
And his performances since joining Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have seen him touted as a star of the future
