Liverpool are set to increase their mammoth offer for Naby Keita as they look to wrap up an £8million deal for Hull City left-back Andy Robertson.

The ECHO understands the Reds will test RB Leipzig's resolve once again having had an initial bid of £57million for Keita rejected last week.

The hope is that a fee of around £65million (75million Euros) will convince the Bundesliga outfit to do business.

Liverpool are in advanced talks with Hull over the signing of Robertson, while Lucas Leiva is on the brink of completing a £5million move to Lazio.

The deal for Robertson won't go through in time for the Scotland international to fly off with the Reds squad to Hong Kong on Sunday, but the 23-year-old increasingly looks Anfield bound.

The ECHO revealed last month that Robertson was back on the Reds' radar having missed out on the signing of Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon. They had also inquired about Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy, but were told he was joining Manchester City.

Robertson's arrival is likely to trigger the departure of Spanish left-back Alberto Moreno , who is surplus to requirements at Anfield.

The Glasgow-born 23-year-old made 115 appearances for Hull following his £3million move from Dundee United in 2014.

Released by Celtic as a teenager, the attacking full-back launched his career at Queen's Park before being snapped up by Dundee United. Three years ago Robertson was crowned the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.

Jurgen Klopp wouldn't be drawn on potential incomings following Friday night's 1-1 draw with Wigan.

“If whatever I say here would change anything in a positive way I would,” he said. “But I have no influence.

“It is not important what I say, it's only important what we do. We try to do the job. We feel in a good way. I can’t say anything on players.”

Lucas said his goodbyes at Melwood on Friday morning before heading off to discuss personal terms with Lazio.

Asked about the Brazilian's imminent departure, Klopp said: "I am not 100% sure because I'm not sure how it is at the moment but I think for Lucas, outstanding, fantastic time at Liverpool, we should talk about facts and not rumours.

"We have to wait, I'm not sure. Maybe something, maybe not, like last year and half a year ago."
