Bournemouth have contacted Liverpool about taking Neco Williams on loan for the rest of the season.
The Wales international has made just one Premier League appearance this season, playing the final few minutes of the 5-0 win over Watford in October.
James Milner has been preferred at right-back ahead of Williams at times this season and with Trent Alexander-Arnold firmly in place as the first choice at Anfield, Williams has featured just eight times this campaign.
The ECHO understands the defender has cut short a break in Dubai to talk through the options with his representatives ahead of Monday's 11pm transfer deadline.

Liverpool are open to the idea of sending Williams out to gain first-team exposure on a more regular basis.
With promotion-chasing Bournemouth currently third in the Championship, a short-term move to the south coast is seen as a potentially ideal one for Williams.
With Wales in the play-offs for a spot at this year's World Cup, regular game-time for the 20-year-old would aid his international claims, which is a point that was made by Dragons manager Robert Page last year.
“The players want to be playing football, how can they not?" Page said in November.
When you are involved in games like that [against Belgium], you can’t buy that feeling.
“When you have come off and you have played really well and you listen to the supporters, you can’t buy that.
“They will want to re-create that week in, week out. Players will want to play games.
“For whatever reason domestically they don’t, that is fine, every manager has his own opinions. I can’t influence that.
“All I can influence is encouraging the players to want to go and play domestic football, whether it is at their parent club or elsewhere.
“That is what we are encouraging them to do."
Asked about those comments from Page that same month, Klopp said: "We are really short of players. The last thing I’m thinking about is who could go on loan in the winter.
“In Neco’s case, I can 100 per cent understand that my colleague from Wales said he thinks it would make sense that they play.
“But they are nearly qualified or can qualify for the World Cup with a lot of players who are not first choice in their teams.
“So I think it makes absolute sense that Neco is here developing every day, and that’s what he’s doing. And to fight through the situation, that’s what he’s doing.

“Just going on loan, you never know where they will end up – not Neco, but in general.
“First and foremost you have to make sure you fight where you are, because if you don’t sort your problems where you are, you will carry them with you to the next club as well."
With Conor Bradley progressing well in the Academy ranks and Milner and Joe Gomez capable of filling the spot in the absence of Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool feel they can justify loaning Williams out for the remainder of the season.
The Reds were willing to listen to permanent offers for Williams back in the summer months but the youngster could now leave on loan.
