Darwin Nunez is set to miss Uruguay's friendly with Panama this evening - with some reports suggesting he is flying over for medical examinations ahead of a potential move to Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's side emerged as being in the race for the striker at the start of the week, with the Reds now hoping to fend off competition from the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle to strike a deal.
The ECHO understands the Reds are yet to agree a fee with Benfica over Nunez - despite suggestions the player has already told his family and friends he is moving to Anfield. But the club's interest is clear with the striker becoming a top target.
