The former Swansea boss would may keep Carroll as a back-up than lose over £20m on the striker the Reds signed in January 2011 but would cash in if he could afford an adequate replacement.
The likes of West Ham, Aston Villa and Fulham have all sounded out Liverpool about the possibility of signing Carroll, but he is believed to have rejected all of their advances in the hope of securing a move back to the Sports Direct Arena.
The Hammers' offer was to pay all of Carroll's £90,000-a-week wages with a guaranteed £18m move at the end of the season but Newcastle have only been prepared to pay a cut of his wages plus an £11m fee.
It has also been rumoured that Tottenham could join the chase for Carroll once the transfer of Luka Modric to Real Madrid has been finalised.
