Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain for a fee expected to be in excess of £100m.
Sources have indicated to BBC Sport that talks have progressed in the last 48 hours and a full agreement is now close.
PSG had valued the 23-year-old France forward at £140m but the total package is expected to come in below that figure.
The final details are still to be completed but the deal is set to be worth a minimum of £100m, which will rise with add-ons.
For Liverpool, this is the kind of statement move the faithful have been craving as Arne Slot reshapes the attack at Anfield.
A forward with Barcola's pace and directness would slot in neatly alongside the established stars and give the Reds a different dimension in the final third.
PSG, meanwhile, appear ready to cash in on a player they rate highly but at a price that reflects squad planning rather than desperation.
The argument doing the rounds among Premier League watchers is whether £100m-plus for a 23-year-old with one full season as a regular represents sharp business or another inflated market move.
