Liverpool have tracked Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri all summer long with rumours rife a deal could be done.
But, according to reports in Spain, Atletico Madrid have jumped the queue to sign him.
AS report that officials have travelled to Germany to present a bid to Bayern and try and tie up a deal.
Whether the Reds are still interested after Mario Balotelli's arrival is unclear but they could move again if the price is right.
The 22-year-old fits Rodgers' style and his versatility figures to work well in the Reds super fluid system.
