Liverpool are close to completing deals for Lazar Markovic and Divock Origi ahead of Luis Suarez‘s departure to Barcelona this week.
Reports on Sunday emerged from Portugal that Liverpool had agreed a deal for Serbian attacker Markovic, which is now being reported by BBC Sport and The Times.
Liverpool are reported to have agreed a £25 million deal with Benfica for the 20-year-old who can play anywhere across the front three, predominantly from the left.
Meanwhile, Belgium forward Divock Origi’s deal was apparently agreed prior to the World Cup with his current club, Lille. Reports over the past fortnight have suggested he will be loaned back the French club for the season.
“Liverpool have agreed a deal with Lille for Belgium striker Divock Origi and are in advanced talks to sign Serbia winger Lazar Markovic from Benfica,” writes BBC’s Ben Smith.
“Both moves are taking place as Liverpool prepare to sell striker Luis Suarez, 27, to Barcelona for £75m,” he explains.
Origi’s fee could rise to just below £10 million.
Smith also provides an update on Liverpool’s move for Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean forward is wanted at Anfield to replace Suarez but the player himself is reportedly not keen to be involved directly in the deal.
Sanchez is also subject of interest from Arsenal and Juventus but Liverpool hope to persuade 25-year-old of a move to Merseyside.
