But as per Spanish sports paper AS, Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have approved an agreement of about £120m for the Brazilian.
It is believed that the deal will be £90.2m (€100m) up front with £18.05m (€20m) in add-ons.
FC Barcelona are ready to include Andre Gomes in the deal, although Jurgen Klopp is not thought to be particularly interested in such a deal.
Barcelona based Catalan newspaper El Periodico reported that Barcelona could present the Liverpool man by tomorrow, but Barcelona have denied such reports.
