Liverpool are close to closing a deal for Diogo Jota this summer.
According to reports in The Times, the talks between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers are at an advanced stage.
It has been claimed that the fee for the 23-year-old Portuguese forward is expected to be over £ 35 million.
According to The Athletic’s Tim Spiers, the deal is ‘very close’ to completion and the player is likely to leave the club.

The Wolves are also negotiating a deal to sign Liverpool youngster Ki-Jana Hoever.
The 18-year-old Dutch defender is valued at more than £ 10 million and the two transfers would be separated. He will join the club as a replacement for Matt Doherty, who left the club to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Jota was excluded from the Wolves squad in the Carabao Cup loss to Stoke City on Thursday night, and now the Portuguese winger is heading to join the Anfield club in the coming days.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano said today that the Portuguese winger is Liverpool’s main target, with superagent Jorge Mendes already being contacted for personal terms.
