Liverpool haven't dropped their interest in Sporting CP wing-back Nuno Mendes.
The 18 year-old penned new terms with Sporting earlier this month.
But local source CM Jornal reports Mendes impressed Jurgen Klopp with his performance during Sporting's 2-0 victory over Tondela last week.
Mendes, who's new five-year contract includes a £40m release clause, impressed in an attack-minded left wing-back berth, catching the eye of the Reds in the process.
And the teen could fit the bill as a long-term deputy to Andrew Robertson at Anfield.
