The Reds are said to be in the market for a new striker as they prepare for life without Daniel Sturridge, who has been tipped to leave.
Chelsea appear to still be interested in Dembele, though, and are backed at 5/1 to secure the 20-year-old's signature.

While Manchester United are also in the market for the young Frenchman, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Old Trafford future still in doubt.
The Red Devils are just behind the Blues in the market at odds of 8/1.
Celtic have reportedly slapped a £40million price tag on Dembele, who cost just £500,000 in compensation after he left Fulham last year.
