Liverpool agree personal terms with Gelson Martins
With Philippe Coutinho's £142 million in the bank, Liverpool are actively looking for attacking reinforcements. Portuguese newspaper Correio de Manha via the Metro has revealed that the Reds have agreed on personal terms with the talented winger, Gelson Martins, and are looking to bring him to Anfield this month.
Martins has been offered a deal worth £4.4 million per year which comes down to roughly £80,000 per week. The 22-year-old has a release clause of £53 million at Sporting Lisbon but Liverpool will look to negotiate with the Portuguese side to try and lower their valuation.
Bouna Sarr interested in a move to Leicester City
Marseille midfielder Bouna Sarr has today revealed to L'equipe that a move to the Premier League interests him. The 25-year-old Frenchman was the subject of a €3 million bid from Leicester a few days which was rejected straightaway.
Marseille want to keep Sarr until the summer with the midfielder having a contract until 2020.
Speaking in a press conference recently, the Guinean said:
"For me, it's mostly a reward. It proves that I'm working well and it's encouraging for the future, If today I can arouse the interest of this kind of club ... I will not lie to you, I am not insensitive to this championship. But I prefer to focus on the contract I have to honor with Olympique de Marseille"
