Liverpool have tabled a bid for Porto midfielder Otavio in the last 24 hours.
A Bola says the Reds are now offering an amount of €23m plus the transfer of Marko Grujic in exchange for the Brazil midfielder.
Porto, who had Serbia international Grujic on loan last season, have made it clear they had no intention to mix up the deals.
Still, the Reds have made an attempt
The Dragons will keep demanding the price of Otávio's release clause, which is €40m, and treat Grujic's case separately.
As widely reported by local outlets, Otávio's contract with the Dragons has a line which says his release clause is dropped from €60m to €40m until the end of June - which leaves Liverpool 24 hours to get a deal done at a reasonable price.
