adminLONDON. – Liverpool will take their summer spending past £100 million after chief executive Ian Ayre flew to Spain to complete the signings of Alberto Moreno and Javi Manquillo.
They are understood to be close to agreeing a £20 million fee with Sevilla for their 22-year-old left back and Ayre is expected to negotiate a two-year loan for Atletico Madrid right back Manquillo.
It will include an agreement to sign the 20-year-old in a permanent £6 million deal.
Liverpool have spent almost £90 million on Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Dejan Lovren, Emre Can, Lazar Markovic and Divock Origi.
Manager Brendan Rodgers indicated that there would be more arrivals after his side beat Manchester City in a penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw at New York’s Yankee Stadium.
“We still have some business to do,” said Rodgers.
“We have some positions that we want to fill so by the end of August we’ll have a strong squad to go forward with.” – Mailonline
