Express: Rodgers agrees deal Jul 31st 2013, 10:05 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool have agreed a loan deal for Benfica left-back Lorenzo Melgarejo with a view to a permanent £8.5million transfer. Earlier this week Express Sport reported that Brendan Rodgers was looking to boost his defensive options with a move for Melgarejo. And now Rodgers has secured competition for Jose Enrique at left-back this season after agreeing a deal with Benfica. Melgarejo will switch to Anfield initially on a season-long loan deal that could be made permanent next summer for a fee of around £8.5m. The move is subject to a work permit being granted for the 22-year-old, who has one cap for Paraguay. The Reds were informed of Melgarejo's availability last month after Benfica signed two left-backs - Silvio and Bruno Cortez. Formerly a left winger, Melgarejo has been transformed into a left-back in Portugal, a position he occupied during Benfica's Europa League final defeat against Chelsea in May.
