Manchester City are ready to make an offer for unsettled Liverpool striker Robbie Keane.
The Sun says the striker did not even make the bench for Sunday’s 1-1 FA Cup draw with Everton.
He also failed to turn up to watch the match, throwing into doubt his Anfield future.
City manager Mark Hughes signed £14million striker Craig Bellamy from West Ham this month but is a huge admirer of Keane.
Kop boss Rafa Benitez insists the Irishman still has a future at Liverpool.
But Keane, 28 — a £20million summer buy from Spurs — has been substituted in all but one of the 16 Premier League games he has started for the Reds.
