talkSPORT reports that the Reds are considering making a move for the 24-year-old who could be available for just £2million in January.
Birsa’s contract at Auxerre is set to expire at the end of the season and the French side are keen to cash in on the player.
“It is normal that as professional football player I want to improve,” he said.
“I do my work and if it turns out to be slightly interesting it will be in hands of the club.”
