Liverpool are readying an offer for Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

The Uruguay international has enjoyed an outstanding season with Sporting and attracted interest from across Europe.

Ugarte's deal carries a €60m buyout clause and Liverpool are set to make a first offer, says Record.

The 22 year-old has made 29 appearances for Sporting this season and has a deal to 2026.

Ugarte is on the books of Gestifute, which also handle the affairs of Reds trio Fabinho, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.
