Liverpool are to face AC Milan in a mid-season friendly in Dubai.
The Reds are flying out to the region to coincide with the Qatar World Cup for a warm-weather training camp during the tournament.
The Liverpool Echo says plans for friendlies are in the pipeline and a match with Serie A giants Milan has been discussed as top clubs look to use their time off from domestic action by keeping their non-internationals sharp.
A meeting with the seven-time European Cup winners would represent a high-profile exhibition fixture for the region as Jurgen Klopp takes his players to Dubai to make the journey for those joining up with their club colleagues from the World Cup easier from a logistical standpoint.
Liverpool's last game before the international tournament is on November 12 at home to Southampton before domestic action resumes on December 26 away at Aston Villa.
