Liverpool reportedly have reservations about the injury record of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto.
The depth of Jurgen Klopp's attacking ranks has been tested in recent weeks, a result of the unavailability of Mohamed Salah and recent long-term injury sustained by Diogo Jota.
While Salah is expected back in action in due course, constant speculation regarding the legendary attacker's future at Anfield has naturally led to alternatives being identified.
The Egypt international is said to be of interest to teams in the Saudi Pro League, with the likelihood being that it is a matter of time before a formal offer arrives unless Salah extends his contract past 2025.
As it stands, a renewal appears more likely than not, if reports are to be believed, but Liverpool must decide how to reinvest any transfer funds should they become available.

In the past, Liverpool have done business with Wolves to acquire the services of Jota, that deal proving to be a success for all parties.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool are interested in conducting another piece of business with their West Midlands outfit as they continue to hold an interest in Neto.
Nevertheless, it is further claimed that there are concerns over Neto's injury record at Molineux, something which may complicate any negotiations.
Neto is currently in his fifth campaign at Wolves, making a total of 133 appearances in all competitions, with 79 of those coming in 2019-20 and 2020-21.

Since then, though, the Portugal international has sustained serious knee, ankle and hamstring injuries, the latter sustained this season and keeping him out between October 28 and December 30.
Despite that absence, Neto has still made 18 starts and four substitute outings for Wolves in all competitions this season, contributing three goals and nine assists.
Although Wolves will pass the next Premier League Profit and Sustainability check, it has been alleged that they will still need to raise funds in the summer.
That could theoretically come through the sale of the 23-year-old, yet Wolves would not consider doing business unless they receive at least £50m for their most prized asset.
