Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin has agreed personal terms with Liverpool and providing everything falls into place, he should complete a transfer to Anfield.
While sources are claiming that the 23-year-old has agreed terms with us, it is possible that he could have agreed terms with other clubs, so that's worth considering until an announcement comes through regarding his future. However, we can't help but think this is unlikely because of the way Real Madrid wanted to structure the deal. For example, they preferred our proposals over Arsenal's.
For a deal to proceed, Real Madrid and Liverpool must negotiate through a few more hurdles. Liverpool's MD Ian Ayre is currently trying to do just that.
We expect more to develop on this overnight and it shouldn't be too long before something official filters through from one of the clubs.
