Firpo would also be interested in Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City, but reports in Spain indicate that it is Liverpool that is most likely to be firm while Jurgen Klopp seeks to add serious competition to the squares at Anfield and with the club this season making the Premier League their number one priority.

And the report suggests that Liverpool "Know that to achieve the transfer", they must make Betis an attractive offer and that they can open the auctions with an approach of "at least" 30 million euros, which equates to about 26.9 million pounds.
