Elsewhere, Manchester United are one of many sides to be interested in Sunderland midfielder Chris Rigg, and their defender Diogo Dalot could be a target for Real Madrid if Trent Alexander-Arnold stays at Liverpool.
Manchester City could make a move for Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci, after Rodri was ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
Ricci could be brought in this January when the transfer window re-opens, according to The Mirror.
The paper writes: “City suffered the hammer blow of losing Rodri after he went off injured in the 2-2 draw against rivals Arsenal, in a major blow to their hopes of retaining the Premier League title.
“Pep Guardiola's men dropped two points in their 1-1 draw at Newcastle on Saturday as the Spaniard fielded Mateo Kovacic, Rico Lewis and Ilkay Gundogan at St James' Park - but the trio struggled without Rodri's quality.
“He is now keeping an eye on Italian midfielder Ricci as someone who could step up in his place.
“Ricci is one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe, with the 23-year-old being key to helping Torino's shock rise to the top of Serie A this season. He has already played 65 times for the club, scoring three goals.”
