Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are both considering signing Rubin Kazan striker Salomon Rondon, according to a report.

Liverpool are reportedly locked in a battle with last season's Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund to sign Rubin Kazan forward Salomon Rondon.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is looking at replacements for last season's top goalscorer Luis Suarez, who has repeated his desire to leave the club this summer.

Dortmund were in a similar position earlier in the month, with Polish centre-forward Robert Lewandowski a target for German champions Bayern Munich.

Despite Lewandowski since pledging his immediate future to the club, coach Jurgen Klopp wants to add depth to his attack.

The Express reports that Rubin have told the two clubs that a fee of £8.7m is needed to secure the services of the Brazilian.

Rondon scored seven goals in 20 starts for Rubin last season.
