have shown an interest in Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi but Newcastle remain the clear favourites in the race for him.
Hughes is also keeping tabs on Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, who is considering moving away from the Bundesliga champions this summer.
Tottenham are interested in Hincapie too though, and with a price tag of £50m, the Ecuadorian international would be an expensive addition.
According to Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze, Liverpool are admirers of RB Leipzig centre-back Mohamed Simakan and he would be slightly more affordable than Guehi or Hincapie.

Reports suggest that Simakan is valued at roughly £35m. He is under contract until 2027, meaning Leipzig are under no immediate pressure to sell.
Liverpool have made preliminary enquiries about Simakan’s availability but nothing is advanced at this stage, so it will be interesting to see if the Reds do make a bid.
Simakan hasn’t ruled out staying with Leipzig either, even if a top club like Liverpool do come in for him.
