The Reds have been monitoring the 25-year-old Sporting Lisbon midfielder Diego Capel for the past few weeks but have not yet made a bid for the highly rated player.
Diego Capel has recently admitted that he would be open to a move to Atletico Madrid this summer. The Spanish side look like Liverpool's biggest contenders in the race to sign the highly rated midfielder.<br />
Reports suggest that Atletico have already made a bid for the midfielder, although it was denied by the president Enrique Cerezo earlier this month.<br />
Capel himself has suggested that he is proud of the interest from the Spanish capital side adding up more speculation about his future with the Premiera Liga club.<br />
The Spain international told AS: "I am very proud to be linked with big clubs like Atletico"<br />
"One always wants to keep progressing and that is a great club.<br />
"I do not know what will happen in the future but any player would like to play there."
