Liverpool target Daniel Alves could seal a move to Anfield early
next week, according to his agent.
Reds chief Rafa Benitez is a long-term admirer of the Sevilla wide
man from his own time in Spain and it would now appear after a
prolonged period of negotiation, an accord is close to being
struck.
Alves has made no secret of his desire to make the switch to
Merseyside but thus far the two clubs have been unable to concur on
a fee, with Sevilla clearly reluctant to lose one of their main
assets for anything less than a top fee.
It does, though, now look likely that Sevilla will agree to Alves'
desire for a move to The Premiership, with a figure of £10 million
mooted as the price set.
''The negotiations are very advanced but it is impossible to close
the subject this week,'' confirmed Alaves' agent, Jose Rodriguez
Baster.
''I expect the solution in a couple of days because the difference
in money is very little.''
It is expected that if, and when, Alves puts pen-to-paper on a deal
then it will run until 2011.
