Liverpool target Iago Aspas has received plenty of transfer offers, but is still set on a move to Anfield this summer according to sources in Spain.
As we exclusively reported a fortnight ago, negotiations were underway between Liverpool and Aspas and last week they agreed personal terms on a switch.
The livewire forward helped Celta Vigo maintain their La Liga status at the weekend as they achieved final-day survival by beating Espanyol.
This meant that Aspas' release clause remained at €10million, a price that forced several sides - including Valencia - to withdraw their interest in the 25-year-old, but plenty are still prepared to rival Liverpool for his signature.
"Celta have more offers than just the one from Liverpool," a deal insider told Mirror Football.
"There are offers from other Premier League sides, and from Italian and German teams that have qualified for the Champions League.
"They also have a very good offer from Benfica.
"However," he added, "Iago wants to play in England, and his preference is still for Liverpool."
"I believe this will all be resolved either this week or next."
Liverpool are also trying to secure a deal for long-term target Henrikh Mkhitaryan, with the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder keen for a move to one of Europe's big leagues this summer.
