English giants Liverpool are set to revive their interest in Udinese's Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, according to Sport Mediaset.
The Ghanaian international was linked with a move to Anfield in the last January window although a bid failed to materialise.
However, Udinese may see their resolve tested in the New Year with Brendan Rodgers keen to add some steel to his midfield.
Hull and West Brom are also said to be interested in the 23-year-old, while Tottenham could join the chase.
Badu was a member of Ghana's World Cup squad at the 2014 finals in Brazil.
