The Reds are desperate to complete a deal for Lemar.

Monaco have turned down two bids of £55.5m and £65m from Liverpool for the France international.

Starsport understands that a third bid of £75m could be on the way soon.

And The Telegraph add Liverpool need to get a move on with getting a deal over the line if Lemar is to become Jurgen Klopp’s next summer signing.

Although the transfer deadline for Premier League clubs isn’t until 11pm on Thursday night, the player is busy on international duty tomorrow night, so a deal may need to be finalised TODAY.

France tackle Holland in a World Cup qualifier at the Stade de France and Lemar is likely to be involved.

The match kicks off at 7.45pm UK time, meaning any transfer will need to be sorted either today or early tomorrow morning.

National team boss Didier Deschamps says French players can undergo medicals ahead of potential moves at the country’s Clairefontaine base.

But he’s unlikely to sanction any transfer-related activity in the immediate run-up to tomorrow’s key qualifier.

France are second in Group A, three points above the Dutch.

And Deschamps won’t want any late distractions for his squad ahead of the crunch clash.

Liverpool have signed Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson and Dominic Solanke so far this summer.

A deal has also been sorted for Naby Keita, who will arrive next year.
