There are shock reports in Mexico that Liverpool have beaten Napoli to Porto midfielder Hector Herrera.
He has been a primary target for the Partenopei all summer and had been optimistic of reaching a deal.
However, Fox Sports MX claim this evening that Liverpool have agreed terms with Porto and Pachuca, the club that still owns 30 per cent of his contract.
It would be a huge blow for Napoli and President Aurelio De Laurentiis, who pledged to reinforce the squad for their Champions League campaign.
