Liverpool have received a boost in their bid to sign PSG winger Lucas Moura, with the Ligue 1 side willing to sell the flier for £26million.
That is according to French outlet Le Parisien, who say PSG are prepared to cut their losses on the Brazilian having forked out £35million to land him from Sao Paulo four years ago.
It was reported the Reds made contact with PSG over a potential move for Moura last month with Manchester United also understood to be interested.
Moura scored 19 times last season, laying on 11 more goals for his teammates in 53 appearances in all competitions.
Reds to escape Van Dijk action
Liverpool are set to avoid any disciplinary action over their attempts to sign Virgil van Dijk.
The revelation comes despite the club being forced to publicly apologise for "tapping up" the Southampton defender.
The Saints have not withdrawn their initial complaint after they alleged Liverpool made an illegal approach to try and sign the Dutch international.
But the Premier League are understood not to be considering further action over the matter unless new information is provided.
Anfield chiefs make Ox move
Liverpool have made their move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain .
Anfield chiefs' direct enquiry to Arsenal represents the first step in trying to pull off a remarkable transfer coup for the £25million-rated England international.
And although the Gunners rebuffed that first approach, they could be ready to sell Oxlade-Chamberlain as his contract talks have ground to a frustrating halt.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is a known long-time admirer , and wants the 23-year-old in his squad. Manchester City and Chelsea are also watching developments closely, but the Reds are trying to steal a march on their Premier League rivals.
