Liverpool have agreed a £12m deal to sign Sevilla defender Alberto Moreno.
Brendan Rodgers made signing a left-back his priority earlier this summer and singled out the 22-year-old as his number one target.
Sevilla insisted that Moreno was going nowhere unless their 20m euro asking price was met with manager Unai Emery insisting on Monday that he would play in the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid.
However, Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre managed to thrash out a deal for Moreno in Cardiff before kick-off and the player was withdrawn from the side.
The Spain international, who came through his home-town club’s youth system, is now set to undergo a medical at Anfield and discuss personal terms.
Moreno will become Liverpool’s eighth signing of the summer transfer window, while his arrival is likely to see Martin Kelly join Crystal Palace.
The 24-year-old defender has made more than 30 appearances for Liverpool since making his first-team debut in 2007.
