Luis Albertos agent confirms talks with Liverpool over summer transfer
Sevilla forward Luis Alberto has moved a step closer to joining Liverpool after his agent confirmed talks have taken place over a potential transfer.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is believed to have made Alberto a top target after completing deals for Kolo Toure and Iago Aspas.
And despite speculation this week that the move might be off, Albertos agent has revealed a switch to Merseyside is edging closer.
The reports about Liverpools interest are true, they are very interested, he told the Spanish press.
There have been talks, and if a good offer comes a deal will be found.
Alberto is already thought to have set his heart on a move to Anfield, having snubbed interest from Barcelona where he spent last season on loan as part of their B team.
The 20-year-old bagged an impressive 11 goals in 38 matches while there, and is rated as a huge star within the Spanish under-21 setup.
Liverpool are yet to formally agree a fee with Sevilla for the players services, but it is expected he will end up costing around £5million with a further £2million to follow in bonuses.
Alberto, who has been compared to David Villa, has seven La Liga appearances under his belt.
