Liverpool and Espanyol have agreed a fee for winger Albert Riera in excess of £8million, according to reports on Tuesday afternoon.
The Liverpool Echo claims the two clubs have agreed a compromise fee – reported elsewhere to be £8.2m – after the Spaniard made it clear that he was only interested in moving to the red half of Merseyside.
Everton have also apparently bid for Riera but despite a higher offer, they have seemingly failed in their move for the left-sided player.
Riera will now need to agree terms with Liverpool and pass a medical but he could be a Reds player in time for Sunday’s clash with Aston Villa.
