Reading are on the brink of signing Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori on a permanent deal after a fee was agreed between the two clubs, a source has told ESPN FC.
The Championship side are close to completing a £3.75 million deal to sign the Portuguese defender, who has made just three first-team appearances for the Reds since joining from Sporting Lisbon for an initial £3.5m the summer of 2013.
The Hampstead-born player is now free to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical with Jaap Stam's side, who are making a push for promotion this season.
The source added that the deal includes a "significant" sell-on clause for Liverpool.
