Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Liverpool’s pursuit of Porto star Otavio.

The report claims Liverpool were ready to step up their interest in Otavio with a £26m offer.



Otavio has been recently linked with a move to Liverpool, according to the Mirror.



However, journalist Fabrizio Romano has denied claims that Liverpool are interested in the midfielder, as seen in the tweet below.



In an ideal world, Salah signs an extension to his current contract at the club, but as it stands, he appears to be playing hard to get.

The Egyptian’s contract at Liverpool is set to expire in June 2023, so they may be forced to sell him to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

Otavio is now 27, so doesn’t appear to fit the recruitment model set out by Liverpool this summer.
