The Reds have only spent €60 million (R1.1 billion) twice before: when they paid Roma €62.5 million (R1.2 billion) for goalkeeper Alisson Becker, and Southampton €84.65 million (R1.6 billion) for centre-back Virgil van Dijk.
However, the latter's injury could see Jurgen Klopp become active in January, according to ESPN.
The German tactician opted against signing another central defender in the most recent transfer window, despite Dejan Lovren joining Zenit St. Petersburg.
The club, though, is now expected to strengthen in the January window after Van Dijk was effectively ruled out for the rest of the 2020/21 season.

However, the Reds' interest could throw a spanner in Mourinho's attempts to sign the 25-year-old.
