Reports from Italy are claiming that Liverpool have reached an agreement with Lille to sign their Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches for £18m.
Sanches has been linked with the club and is seen to be a replacement for Gini Mijnaldum.
Well-known Italian news outlet Tutto Mercato Web have mentioned that the former Benfica and Bayern Munich player is valued at around 20 million euros at the moment (£18million).

Reports have also been circulating that Mohamed Salah is unhappy at the club and is seeking a new challenge away from the Premier League.
According to his former international team-mate Mohamed Aboutrika – Mo Salah is reportedly unhappy at Liverpool and the Reds are now considering cashing in on the Egyptian and selling him.
In an interview with beIN Sports Aboutrika said the 28-year-old was particularly annoyed about not being made team captain for Liverpool’s recent Champions League game against FC Midtjylland as well as other reasons.

“I called Salah about his situation at Liverpool and he is upset, but that would never affect his performance on the field,” Aboutrika said.
“I know that Salah is not happy in Liverpool, he told me the reasons why he is not happy but they are secrets and I cannot talk about it in public. One of the reasons that made Salah angry was that he was not the captain against Midtjylland.”
More fuel was added to the speculation when Salah was dropped to the bench for Liverpool’s game at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp insisted he was simply giving Salah a rest after a hectic period and when Salah did come on he scored a brace in Liverpool’s 7-0 hammering of Crystal Palace.
