Liverpool are chasing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Diego Capel.
Liverpool will have to pay £6m for winger Capel if they are to lure him away from Sporting Lisbon this summer.
Reports in Portugal suggest that Sporting have accepted that Capel is headed for the exit but are not willing to lose the Spaniard on the cheap.
According to O Jogo, Capel has asked to leave and wants to move to a league with better profile than the Primeira Liga, having joined Sporting from Sevilla in 2011.
