Liverpool look set to miss out on reported target Federico Fazio following the news that Sevilla have agreed in principle to sell the defender to St Zenit Petersburg.
Spanish newspaper AS reports that the Spanish club has accepted an offer in the excess of €6 million from the Russian champion.
Sevilla have found themselves in a position where they must offload one of their prized assets, and while selling one the club’s three key performers this season in Ivan Rakitic, Alvaro Negredo and Gary Medal has been considered, the club have opted to cash in on Argentine defender Fazio.
It had previously been suggested that Liverpool were planning on making an offer for Fazio, after the club failed to secure a move for Vergard Forren, who chose a move to Southampton.
However it would now appear that the 25-year-old is poised to join Zenit, with just personal terms and minor details of a payment plan reportedly left to be agreed.
