Liverpool are hours away from the signing of Mario Balotelli after AC Milan confirmed they are in negotiations with the Reds over a deal.
Balotelli has emerged as Liverpool's number one transfer target as they look to add a world class striker to their ranks this summer.
And after the Italian's agent arrived in England for talks, Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio says Liverpool are hoping to close the transfer in the coming hours.
It's claimed that after having a loan offer turned down, talks are now progressing quickly over a permanent deal, with Milan confirming contact between the two clubs on their official website.
Brendan Rodgers has already made an offer of about £17.6million, and while Milan's asking price is higher, all parties are confident of finding an agreement.
Balotelli would be offered a four-year deal worth about £90,000-a-week at Anfield.
