Liverpool are hoping to secure Martin Montoya's signature [GETTY]
Speculation has heightened recently that Montoya could move to Anfield, with Brendan Rodgers eager to tighten his backline.
Liverpool's interest in Montoya also stems from the fact that Rodgers is reportedly considering loaning out Tiago Ilori, whom he nabbed from Sporting Lisbon in the summer.
Moreover, they haven't hidden their interest in Tello, who was also on Spurs' radar in the summer.
But Barcelona vice president Josep Bartomeu has urged them to rethink their exit plans.

"Tello and Montoya could leave if they won't play more?," Bartomeu told Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo.
"We like their ambition. They should continue to fight."
Montoya is out of contract with Barcelona in the summer.
He has also piqued the interest of Serie A giants Inter Milan and Juventus.
