Liverpool reportedly learn that it will take a bid of £67m to sign Sporting Lisbon playmaker Pedro Goncalves.

Having helped guide Sporting to a shock title win in Portugal last season, the 23-year-old has chipped in with three goals from six league outings at the start of this campaign.

Aware of his many admirers, the top-flight champions have managed to extend their star man's contract until 2026 with the insertion of a release clause.

According to Record, the likes of Liverpool have been informed that they will not be able to sign Goncalves for anything less than £67m.

Despite Jurgen Klopp enduring a quiet summer window, such a stance in the current market may be enough to deter the Premier League giants.

Manchester United have also been linked with the former Wolverhampton Wanderers youngster in the past. body check tags ::
