Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing young striker, Dominic Solanke, from Premier League rivals, Chelsea, this summer.
The 19-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for the Blues and spent last season on loan at Eredivisie side, Vitesse, where he impressed with seven goals in 25 appearances.
According to report, Solanke had demanded a contract worth £50,000 a week in order to pen fresh terms with Antonio Conte’s side but has now told friends that he is destined for Merseyside.
Liverpool are expected to pay up to £8m in compensation for the England Under-21 international but will not meet his salary demands, instead offering him the promise of the chance to force his way into manager Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans.
Solanke has been with Chelsea since the age of seven.
