Liverpool are ready to hijack Chelsea's interest in Brazilian star Douglas Costa, according to reports.

Costa was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in January, and it is thought that Jose Mourinho will rekindle his interest in the player over the summer.

Last week it was claimed that Chelsea would look to offload Stoke loanee Victor Moses on a permanent deal to help create room for Costa at Stamford Bridge.

That was set to see Chelsea beat Manchester United and Arsenal - both linked with the Shakhtar ace - to the 24-year-old in a £20million deal.

But Liverpool will now look to get in on the action, according to the Metro.It is claimed that Liverpool won't be able to compete when it comes to the financial offer on the table, but will guarantee regular playing time, which could swing things in the Anfield outfit's favour.

Liverpool have been told they can sign Miralem Pjanic from Roma this summer for just £21.8million, according to reports.

With Steven Gerrard set to end his 17-year association with the Reds this summer, manager Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for a replacement for the former England captain, and Roma star Pjanic fits the bill.

The Bosnian international has been in impressive form for the Giallorossi this term, notching six goals and as many assists for Rudi Garcia's Scudetto-chasing side, and the former Lyon man is attracting the attention of a number of European heavyweights.

According to Italian publication Corriere Dello Sport, Liverpool are one of several clubs interested in Pjanic, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain all believed to be keen.

And Roma have apparently made it clear to suitors that they'd sell the Bosnian for a fee of £21.8million.

Liverpool would be able to offer regular first-team football to the player, which should make them front runners.

​Liverpool could use some of the £50m they could receive for Raheem Sterling to sign Barcelona forward Pedro, according to ​Mail Online.

Pedro is considering his future at Camp Nou given he has fallen behind in the pecking order to Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar. He would command wages of around £90k-a-week, though Liverpool are still keen to keep a hold of Sterling.

They've already offered the player a new £100k-a-week deal, however, the player is rumoured to have turned the offer down - and talks won't resume with the player until the end of the season.

Liverpool have made their interest known in Shakhtar Donetsk star and Chelsea target Douglas Costa, according to the ​Metro.

The Reds lost out on Diego Costa a couple of summers back - with the player going on to join Chelsea - but Liverpool want to swoop in and get the Brazilian instead, with the belief that he could lean towards them because of the offer of regular first team football.

Costa could cost around £20m.

Manchester United,  Liverpool and Arsenal are on alert with Lucas Moura's contract talks at PSG hitting a stumbling block, according to reports.

It was claimed last year that PSG were ready to sell Moura in January, with the Brazilian failing to meet expectations at the Parc des Princes.

But the 22-year-old has impressed in recent times and has now opened negotiations over a new deal in the French capital.

According to French magazine Le10Sport, Moura has been offered £57,0000-a-week but wants closer to £82,000-a-week.

And if a compromise can't be struck Moura could end up back on the market this summer.
