Liverpool to sign Leto - reports
Liverpool have agreed to sign Sebastian Leto from Lanus, according to reports in the Argentinian media.
The Lanus board has approved the transfer of the 20-year-old midfielder who is poised to move to Anfield in July. It is reported that Liverpool have agreed to pay 3.6million US dollars (£1.87million).
Vice-president Nicolas Russo told Clarin newspaper: "We are satisfied because the offer met what we were asking for."
Leto said: "I'm very happy. It would be wonderful to play in one of the most important teams in the world.
"Liverpool is a club with a big history, and they won the Champions League two years ago," he told Ole newspaper.
"It has not fully sunk in yet. I usually watch Manchester United games on TV and now I will face them!"
Next Wednesday, Leto will fly to England to undergo the usual medical tests, according to the reports.
He will be accompanied by his agent Fernando Cosentino, Lanus president Alejandro Maron and four members of the board who will negotiate the last details of the transfer.
