Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Paraguayan left-back Lorenzo Melgarejo from Benfica on a season-long loan, according to a report by Liverpool Echo.

The player will move to the club after the approval of his work permit application. Liverpool can make the move permanent by paying £7 million at the end of the season.

22-year-old Melgarejo is a versatile player, who can play as a wide midfielder and also as a full-back. He has one cap for his national team, and featured in Benfica’s run in the Europa League last season, including the final.
