It has been revealed that Borussia Mönchengladbach have moved to secure Havard Nordtveit to a new deal.
The Norway international is a target for Liverpool ahead of the summer market.
However, Gladbach are hopeful of convincing Nordtveit to sign new terms.
“We made him a very, very good offer and I am still optimistic that we can keep hold of Howie,” says Gladbach chief Max Eberl.
A move to Liverpool would mean a Premier League return for Nordtveit, a former Arsenal junior.
