Reading have reportedly offered Blackpool £8m for the signature of winger Thomas Ince.
The England youth international has long been linked with his former club Liverpool, who are believed to have had a succession of bids turned down by the Seasiders.
With the Reds unable to match Blackpool's valuation, Premier League rivals Reading have attempted to steal a march by putting down an £8m offer for the 20-year-old, according to Sky Sports News.
The report has also claimed that Ince would like to listen to what Reading have to say.
