Liverpool and Everton are fighting over Inter Milan's teenage striker Luc Castaignos.
The Italian giants are prepared to offload the young Dutchman, who has struggled since joining them from Feyenoord last summer.
While the Serie A side want to sell the 19-year-old, they would also consider a season-long loan move, which has alerted new Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers and his Goodison counterpart David Moyes.
Castaignos, once dubbed the new Thierry Henry, has encouraged both managers by claiming he wants to leave Italy if he cannot play for Inter.
Newcastle and West Ham are also tracking the Holland Under-19s hitman, who said: "In Italy, I only want to play for Inter, but this is not looking possible now.
"The club wants to loan me to an Italian team, but it is a move I would not be interested in.
"We have thus decided that I will be sold.
"I regret not having been able to show my qualities and I am sad. But football is like that and the club and I have made this decision together."
