Several League One clubs are interested but Famalicao are believed to be an ideal home.

Beck played twice in Jürgen Klopp’s first team in the Carabao Cup last season.

He was a late substitute in the victories against Preston and Leicester.

The Wales youth international was also an unused substitute in three Premier League games.

In 20 Premier League 2 games during the 2021-22 season, Beck contributed one goal and three assists.

He was also a key player in Liverpool’s run to the Uefa Youth League quarter-finals, where he featured in six games.

With four years left on his contract at Anfield, Liverpool are keen to gain valuable first-team experience.

Beck has already revealed how he intends to emulate Andy Robertson, who he described as the best left-back in world football.

Speaking to Liverpool’s website, he said: “I’m watching him and trying to pick parts of his game that I can try to add to my game.

“In my opinion, he is the best left-back in the world right now.

“So it’s great to have him in front of me and get the chance to train with him.”

It is understood that alongside Beck, fellow youngsters Rhys Williams, Sepp van den Berg and Leighton Clarkson could also be brought on for a further loan period.

The trio spent their last term on loan at Swansea, Preston and Blackburn.
