Liverpool's almost finalised deal comes to light

It has been claimed that Wolves midfielder Reuben Neves rejected Liverpool offer in the summer

• Neves was rumored to be of interest to Liverpool before Arthur was recruited.

• There was talk that Portugal's International would depart Molineux during the summer transfer window.

Liverpool were reported to have pursued numerous new midfielders over the summer, but only on the stroke of the deadline did Klopp enhance that area of the field by acquiring Arthur Melo on a temporary transfer from Juventus for the year.

Neves was rumored to be of interest to Liverpool before Arthur was recruited. There was talk that Portugal's International would depart Molineux this summer.

Now, according to the Spanish news source Sport, the Reds and Manchester  United attempted to negotiate a deal with Neves' representatives. However, the report states that the 25 year old exhibited little desire to negotiate with either club and as a result, their proposals never progressed. This is because it's been said Neves already chose Barcelona as the team to join next summer.
