Liverpool began negotiations to sign the 24-year-old, who has a £7.25m release clause in his contract, last week after impressing against them in their two Champions’ League group games this season, scoring at Anfield.

Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund said last week it was an “honour” to have the Champions League champions interested in their players.
