Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup would like to see Iago Aspas at his club this winter, amid injury troubles at the Liberty Stadium, but admits Liverpool may not play ball.
Forward Aspas is a target for Valencia and Real Betis as well, as he struggles for game time at Anfield.
Swansea striker Michu, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, had already expressed hope for Aspas to make the switch to South Wales.
And with Nathan Dyer also out for Swansea, Laudrup has indicated the need to step into the transfer market to ease the club's woes in the new year.

"[Iago Aspas] is an interesting player, but he is at Liverpool", Laudrup told the club website. "They have injuries as well, so that might not be possible. But we are looking at other options.
"The numbers are a bit down and that is risky for the last four months of the season.
"What has happened in the last couple of weeks has changed things. We will probably do something now and try to add something that we don’t have in certain positions.
"A lot of clubs will do business and everyone needs players in certain positions. We just have to do our best and not talk about names."
Aspas joined Liverpool from boyhood club Celta Vigo this summer, but injury and the form of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge has restricted him to just four starts in seven league games.
