But one thing is clear — this transfer will not come cheap.

The Reds are trying to stay ahead of the competition.

The club submitted a revised offer worth £113 million, including £100 million guaranteed and another £13 million in add-ons.



That total equals €134 million.

Talks will continue.

Leverkusen are still holding out for their original €150 million (£126m) valuation.

Until then, the deal remains on hold.

Liverpool also remain active elsewhere, including negotiations for Milos Kerkez.

The Bournemouth left-back is rated at £45 million, but the Reds are trying to bring that fee down.
