Liverpool could complete their first summer signing in a matter of days, that's if reports in Portugal are to be believed.

The Reds are said to be in negotiations to sign 24-year-old Benfica winger Eduardo Salvio, and could complete a big-money transfer very shortly.

Salvio has a £40m buyout in his contract and it's reported that Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira has flown to Merseyside with Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes to negotiate a deal.

The Argentine winger is said to be available for much less than his buyout clause, with Benfica in need to sell both him and talented team-mate Nico Gaitan in order to balance the books.

The reports come from Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, who seem convinced the Reds are the only club in for the winger.

Salvio scored 13 goals in 38 games for Benfica this season, he joined the club from Atletico Madrid in 2012 after an initial loan spell. He has five caps for Argentina.

The Reds could also move for Monaco duo Geoffrey Kondogbia and Aymen Abdennour this summer, that's according to a report in the Metro.

Kondogbia is a 22-year-old highly rated defensive midfielder. He's been capped for France and is said to have been scouted by the likes of Arsenal.

The report says he's rated at around £25m, but he fits FSG's model of a youngster with potential resale value.

Abdennour is a 25-year-old centre half who has been linked with a move to the Premier League. The Tunisia international has a £21.5m release clause in his contract and L'Equipe report that the Reds are looking at bringing him to Anfield.

And finally today, Raheem Sterling's future is again subject to much speculation, with reports indicating the youngster could be a £40m target for Arsenal.

In fact, reports in the Daily Express suggest Arsenal will go as far as to sell Olivier Giroud to fund a move for the forward.

Sterling's future at Anfield is in doubt after his agent spoke to the London Evening Standard last week. Aidy Ward said Sterling wouldn't sign a contract at Liverpool and called Reds legend Jamie Carragher a "kn*b".
