Nottingham Forest are said to have made a fresh approach for Cyprus international defender Nicholas Ioannou.
The Reds were linked with the 24-year-old left-back last month - and Sky Sports say they "made an approach" on Thursday night.
Ioannou came through the youth ranks at Manchester United before joining APOEL Nicosia in 2014.
He is under contract with APOEL until 2021 and is said to be valued at £750,000.
Ioannou was spotted by Manchester United at a football camp in Cyprus and played alongside the likes of Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay, going on to become the reserve team captain at Old Trafford.
He left the Red Devils, however, when David Moyes was appointed Sir Alex Ferguson's successor, owing to a hip problem which played a big part in him not securing a professional contract.
