Manchester City's proposed £80m move for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo is close to collapsing.
City had opened talks with Liverpool over a deal for the Netherlands international, with the Reds willing to sell Gakpo provided they could sign a replacement.
Liverpool completed the signing of France forward Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain for a fee worth up to £123m on Monday but would want another attacking player if Gakpo were to leave.
The Anfield club had targeted moves for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr but the valution of both players has proved problematic.
Liverpoool are now expected to keep Gakpo, 27, unless they are able to revive a deal for a new winger before Tuesday's deadline.
