Liverpool had been claimed to be at an deadlock in talks with the Spanish outfit, however Relevo have now reported {that a} new bid has been made.
Their newest provide is price a assured payment of over €30 million (£25.6m) with add-ons that will take the deal near Valencia’s asking value of €40 million (£34m).
