Liverpool are preparing a shock move for Stoke Citycaptain Ryan Shawcross.
Staffordshire press sources say the 23-year-old formerManchester United defender is being lined up as an alternative toBirmingham City's Scott Dann after the recently relegated club raised their valuation to far in excess of whatLiverpool are willing to pay for him.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is believed to be stepping up his search for a central defender after Monday night's 3-3 friendly draw with Valerenga in Norway once again highlighted Liverpool's frailties at the back having conceded 15 goals in just five pre-season outings.
United have first refusal on re-signing Shawcross if, or when he eventually leaves the Britannia Stadium.
