Liverpool Told They Can Sign Portuguese Ace For Just 17.2M After He Refuses To Extend Contract

Porto are willing to sell Liverpool target Fabio Vieira for just €20m (£17.2m) this summer, according to reports in Portugal.

The 21-year-old is believed to be heading towards the exit door after refusing to sign a new contract. With his current deal expiring next summer, Porto are said to be open to offloading the midfielder for a fee significantly below his €30m (£26m) buyout clause.

Vieira’s representative Marcelo Cipriano is said to be working with Pini Zahavi as an intermediary, with the Israeli super-agent having already received some enquiries from English clubs.

Arsenal have been linked with the Portuguese Under 21 international over the past six months, so they are likely to be one of his suitors, but journalist Bruno Andrade claims Liverpool are also among the leading contenders.

With Porto interested in signing Marko Grujic on a permanent basis following a loan spell, it could present the Reds with an opportunity to include the Serbian in a swap deal for Vieira, but we shall see how this story develops.
