Liverpool FC's summer spending spree will break through the £100million barrier after they agreed a deal with Sevilla for left-back Alberto Moreno.

The Reds will pay the La Liga outfit £12million up front with that fee rising depending on various add-ons.

Chief executive Ian Ayre wrapped up Liverpool’s eighth signing of an increasingly impressive transfer window after travelling to Cardiff to resume negotiations with Sevilla officials ahead of Tuesday night’s UEFA Super Cup final.

With an agreement finally in place, Moreno was withdrawn from the side to face Real Madrid and will instead travel to Merseyside to discuss personal terms and undergo a a medical.

Moreno’s arrival ahead of Sunday’s Premier League opener against Southampton is set to coincide with Martin Kelly’s Anfield exit.

Liverpool have agreed a fee of £1.5million rising to £2million with Crystal Palace for the 24-year-old defender.

The Academy graduate has made 62 appearances for the Reds since Rafa Benitez handed him his debut against PSV Eindhoven in 2008. However, his progress was cruelly halted by a cruciate ligament injury two years ago and since returning to action he has struggled to get back to his best.

With Javier Manquillo, Glen Johnson and Jon Flanagan ahead of him in the battle for the right-back spot, Kellly is expected to accept the opportunity to kick-start his career at Selhurst Park.

The acquisition of Moreno will delight boss Brendan Rodgers, who had made signing a left-back a priority this summer. The 22-year-old Spain international was always his No 1 target but he feared he would miss out on Moreno due to Sevilla’s escalating demands.

Liverpool’s initial offer was tabled in late May but as talks dragged on they were forced to look at other options, including Swansea City’s Ben Davies and Chelsea’s Ryan Bertrand.

In recent weeks the Reds’ focus turned back to Moreno and the player’s determination to move to Anfield was crucial in convincing Sevilla to reluctantly do business.

Seville-born Moreno came up through the youth ranks at his hometown club and made his senior debut in April 2012.

A debut for Spain followed against Georgia in October 2013 and he was named in their provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup but failed to make the cut.

The Reds have already spent around £90million on deals for Rickie Lambert, Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren, Divock Origi and Javier Manquillo.
