Liverpool have joined Roma in the hunt for Real Madrid's Brazilian ace Cicinho, according to reports in Spain.
Roma first showed an interest last month but have yet to strike a deal for the 27-year-old and Liverpool have now apparently been alerted, with claims that Rafael Benitez has already made a move.
The Anfield boss wants competition on his right side and after seemingly cooling his interest in Sevilla's Daniel Alves, Cicinho appears to be an attractive alternative.
Roma were believed to be looking into a possible loan, but it seems the Reds could bid 10million euros (£6.8million). However Cicinho is reported to have told Real that he would rather move to Italy than England.
