The Kop are keen on the French forward and reports coming out of his homeland suggest a huge meeting is taking place this afternoon.

The Kop’s first bid has been knocked back but Starsport understand they are ready to up their offer to £75m.

But Liverpool look to be well in the driving seat.

French TV station RMC Sportsay a meeting is underway which will decide if Lemar heads to Anfield this summer.

It has been reported that Lemar is not considered a direct replacement for Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho.

But Nou Camp chiefs have been encouraged by Liverpool’s late flourish in the transfer window.

In addition to their pursuit of Lemar, a deal has already been agreed to snap up RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita next summer.
