Benfica Star Close To Completing Liverpool Switch

Lorenzo Melgarejo will travel to Liverpool on Wednesday to undergo a medical and complete his season-long loan move from Benfica - as talkSPORT revealed.

The full-back is expected to provide competition for Jose Enrique as Brendan Rodgers looks to improve his squad in a bid to make the Champions League spots.

And the 22-year-old will travel to Merseyside to complete the formalities of the deal before putting pen to paper.

There is also likely to be an option to buy Melgarejo at the end of the loan deal, with a fee of £7.8m mooted.
