Liverpool are yet to complete the signing of Uruguay defender Sebastian Coates.
The 20 year-old has been on Merseyside since last week, but officials from his club, Nacional, will only arrive today to thrash out final terms with Liverpool.
"We are in Lisbon, en route to Manchester. We are going to arrive 10 hours late, about six in the afternoon in Uruguay [22:00 BST]. We should have been there a while ago, but the negotiations will be done tonight," Nacional director Hector Olmos admitted in an interview with Radio 1010.
"I get the feeling that the normal paths of communication have not been maintained. We are going to negotiate and I believe that we are going to take a bit more money."
