Liverpool are in talks with Sporting Lisbon regarding a deal for winger Gelson Martins as the club continue their quest to bring in a pacy attacker, according to Press Association Sport.
Liverpool have been in negotiations with Roma about Mohamed Salah but fear being priced out of a move for the Egypt international, and PA Sport reports that Martins -- linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona last season -- is seen as a potential option.
It has been claimed in Portugal that Martins has a buyout clause of €60 million (£52m) but that Sporting's failure to qualify for the Champions League means they would take €50m (£43.
