Liverpool are ready to submit a €50 million (£41m) bid for Atletico Madrid ace Saul Niguez, according to a report from AS (print edition, July 26, page 7).
And the Spanish publication claims that that is exactly the kind of fee the La Liga giants are looking for.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is clearly keen to bolster his midfield ranks at Anfield this summer after Georgino Wijnaldum recently left to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
The Merseyside outfit were first linked with a move to sign Saul earlier this month.
