Nuri Sahin could return to Liverpool in January, according to reports.
The Turkey international played 12 matches while on loan at Anfield during the 2012-13 season, but his loan move was cancelled early after failing to impress.
The 27-year-old has played under Jurgen Klopp in two separate spells for Borussia Dortmund, and Here is the City claims that the German manager is hoping to reunite with the central midfielder once again.
Sahin made just nine appearances for Dortmund last season after struggling with injuries.
