Liverpool’s desperation for a new midfielder this summer has seen them linked with a move for Sporting Lisbon star Joao Mario.

The Portugal international is valued around the £45m mark and it was earlier revealed that Chelsea have made a bid of £42m+ add-ons to get their man. However, it is now revealed that Liverpool are ready to meet the same valuation and are also ready to add Mario Balotelli as a part deal. However, Sporting are not interested in such a deal according to reports.
