Liverpool are on the brink of making Mohamed Salah their club-record signing after he was given permission to fly in for a medical.
The Egypt international has been a priority for Liverpool since last season drew to a close and talks have been going on since last month with Roma, who initially rejected a £28million offer for him at the start of June.
Michael Edwards, Liverpool's sporting director, has continued in negotiations with Monchi, his counterpart in Rome, and a deal has now been structured that with add-ons, will see Liverpool pay more than the £35m they invested in Andy Carroll in January 2011. The final fee may be closer to £40m.

The 25-year-old Egyptian is expected to fly to the UK for a medical on Tuesday Salah, who initially rejected Liverpool three years ago to join Chelsea, has agreed a deal that will nearly double his wages to £90,000 per week and he was due to leave Cairo for London on Tuesday morning.
It could be that Salah, who contributed 19 assists for Roma last season after joining them for £13m, now undergoes his medical on Wednesday and his arrival would give Liverpool the pace on the flank that they missed last season when Sadio Mane was absent.
