Spanish website Diario de Sevilla report today that Liverpool's offensive for Sevilla attacker Luis Alberto has begun.
At the end of May, there were strong rumours, led by Sky Sports pundit Guillem Balague that Luis Alberto was set to sign for Liverpool.
The highly-rated Spanish attacking player spent last season on loan at Barcelona B but has since returned to Sevilla who are weighing up their options on the player.
Liverpool have agreed personal terms with the representatives of Luis Alberto, according to Diario de Sevilla who also suggest the Premier League side have settled on a four-year contract.
Luis Alberto is quoted in the Spanish media today saying: "It would be foolish & deluded for me to say no to a club like Liverpool."
Sevilla president José María del Nido is now weighing up Liverpool's opening 8 million euro bid for Luis Alberto but is worried about losing a highly-rated up-and-coming player.
The La Liga side, suggest Diario de Sevilla, would accept a Liverpool bid of 9.5 million euros for Luis Alberto.
A resolution to this transfer saga is now expected sometime this week.
The 20-year-old attacker fits the mould of players being brought in by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers. Luis Alberto is young, hungry to prove himself and vastly talented.
In 2012/2013, Luis Alberto scored 11 goals and provided 17 assists in 37 games (32 starts) with Barcelona B.
