Liverpool have asked Real Madrid to name their price for Vinicius Junior.
Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito de Jugones, revealed: "Dortmund and Liverpool have tried, but Real Madrid does not sell him because they want him to cover (Gareth) Bale if he is injured."
Jurgen Klopp made a personal attempt for Vinicius - even asking after the Brazilian before the Premier League summer window closed.
However, Los Blancos insisted the youngster was not for sale - for any price. And their stand had not changed when Liverpool tried again last month.
