He hit the headlines earlier this month when he branded Gareth Southgate’s Under-21 side ‘overrated’.
Now it appears the 21-year-old could be joining up with young England star Danny Ings as Liverpool have begun talks to land the highly-rated left-back.
Full international Augustinsson only joined his current club FC Copenhagen in January.
It's also reported that Liverpool have tabled a second offer for Real Madrid’s out-of-favour defensive midfielder Asier Illarramendi.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers saw a £10.6million bid for the 25-year-old knocked back but sources close to Real say the club have now received an offer of £15m plus add-ons.
