Rayan Cherki could push to leave Manchester City if the club are relegated from the Premier League, according to Football Insider sources.
The 23-year-old has impressed since arriving from Lyon and is now attracting interest from several top European clubs.
Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with the France international, while Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich have also reportedly monitored his situation.
With City facing the possibility of a points deduction or relegation following their financial-rule verdict, several stars could look for moves if the club can no longer offer Champions League football.
Cherki is expected to be one of the players attracting the most interest. His performances have made him a highly sought-after attacking midfielder, and clubs could be ready to pounce if City are forced to sell.
For Liverpool, his potential availability could represent an intriguing opportunity.
