Liverpool are closing on a deal for Porto winger Yacine Brahimi.

A Bola says Liverpool are proceeding with a deal and are willing to meet Brahimi's £45m (€60m) release clause.

Brahimi, linked with a move to Manchester United last year, is part-owned by Porto and agency group Doyen Sports.

The Algeria international, 26, joined the Portuguese giants in 2014 and scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists in 49 appearances this season.

AC Milan and Juventus have also been alerted to Brahimi's progress at Porto.
