They added that the release clause would for the defender would be €65m (£52m) for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, increasing to €70m for the two after that.

The attacking midfielder, who made seven appearances for Jürgen Klopp’s team last season, rejected the chance to extend his contract at Anfield and will officially join Porto once his current deal expires on 1 July. Liverpool will receive a training compensation fee set by Fifa for the 23-year-old, understood to be around €300,000.

Middlesbrough have confirmed they have reached an agreement to sign Colombian defender Bernardo Espinosa when his contract with Spanish club Sporting Gijón expires at the end of June. The 26-year-old centre-half will become Aitor Karanka’s second signing of the summer when he completes his move to Teeside on 1 July, with the Denmark international Viktor Fischer having agreed a move from Ajax last month. Born in Colombia, Espinosa began his career with Sevilla and spent time on loan at both Racing Santander and Gijón before joining the latter in 2013. He has since made over 90 appearances for them and moves to Boro amid reported interest from Everton, Bournemouth and Watford.

Aston Villa are in advanced discussions with the Bournemouth club captain Tommy Elphick after having a £3m offer for him accepted on Wednesday.
