Liverpool have been told they can sign Colombian defender Eder Balanta for just £4.3million after his club River Plate lowered their asking price.

The Reds have been following versatile Balanta for most of the summer so far but have been frustrated by River's £8million price tag on the player.

However, the club has now confirmed that they're willing to accept just £4.3million, clearing the way for Liverpool to now swoop in.

"We value him now at £4.3million," said River's president Rodolfo D'Onofrio.

"The most important thing is that we can get the money now. We don't want a loan or pay a small amount now. This is not possible for us."

Liverpool want Balanta with the Dane likely to depart before the end of the transfer window.

A centre back who can play at left back or in midfield, Balanta is famed for his strength and power.
