Manuel Ugarte's agent has revealed his client is almost certain to leave Sporting Lisbon this summer as Liverpool remain interested.
The 22-year-old has come under the spotlight after some fantastic performances for Sporting this season and Jurgen Klopp has reportedly identified Ugarte as someone who could possibly come in and change the fortunes of his Reds midfield.
It is reported that the Uruguayan midfielder has a release clause worth £53 million to get him out of Portugal, but it remains unclear as to whether Liverpool will pursue a move.
