Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish says the club is interested in signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Carlos Teixeira.

When asked whether Liverpool was close to a deal for the 19-year-old playmaker, Dalglish said Thursday ''there might be something about that, yes.''

Teixeira scored against Liverpool in Sporting's 3-0 win in a match in the NextGen Series - a tournament for selected youth teams across Europe in August.

Teixeira, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is reported in the British media to have been the subject of a bid of 850,000 pounds ($1.3 million) by Liverpool.
