Liverpool have agreed a £4m fee with Rangers to sell defender Ben Davies
The Reds centre-back was the subject of strong interest from a host of clubs this summer after he spent last season on loan with Sheffield United in the Championship.
Blackburn Rovers, Stoke City and Burnley were all understood to have registered their interest, while Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder wanted to take the former Preston man to Middlesbrough after managing him in Sheffield.
However, it is the Scottish Premiership side who appear to have won the race for Davies with the Reds set to bank an initial £3m with a further £1m in add-ons.
The Reds see those additional clauses as achievable and are understood to centre around appearances and team-related performance. The deal sees the club net a handsome profit on the initial £500,000 they paid Preston to land Davies in January 2021.
Davies was left off the club's tour of Thailand and Singapore as interest in him intensified over the last week or so and he is set to now undergo his medical this week in Glasgow.
