Liverpool target Nemanja Matic is set to sign a new contract at Benfica that will increase his buy-out clause to £24.6m.
The former Chelsea youngster has established himself in the first-team at the Portuguese club this season following the departure of Javi Garcia to Manchester City.
And that has led to speculation linking him with Liverpool, who is keen to sign a midfielder to bolster Brendan Rodgers' options in the centre of the pitch.
But O Jogo have reported that Matic is on the verge of signing a new contract at Benfica that will see his deal extended to the summer of 2018 and his buy-out clause increased to €30m (£24.6m).
And that seems certain to end Liverpool's pursuit of the 24-year-old Serbian international.
