Liverpool have been linked with FC Porto midfielder Hector Herrera for some time regarding a potential transfer move, however the Reds are set to receive a blow regarding the same as the player has stated that he favors a move to Napoli over the Reds.
Runners-up to Juventus, Napoli have the Champions League to prepare for next season, further the club is also preparing an initial offer of €18m with further add-ons of €5m, which is far more than what the Reds are willing to offer for the Mexican midfielder further not to mention Liverpool’s lack of Champions League football next season.
Reports suggest that the deal has been agreed upon between Napoli and Porto, however, many are doubtful regarding Porto’s agreement as fickle though they are, the club are known to get the highest bidder for their most coveted talent. Thus, one can wait for a turn to take place in the scenario if the Reds are serious in their pursuit of the player.
