Reds closing in on Coates

Nacional vice-president Hector Olmes has confirmed that the club have received an offer from Liverpool for Sebastian Coates and said he expects the centre-back to move to Anfield.

Coates, 20, revealed on Tuesday that his future would be decided by the end of the week, claiming "a lot of teams are interested in me".

Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk have also been linked to a move for the Uruguay defender, who impressed during the Celeste's recent Copa America triumph.

But Nacional vice president Olmes has confirmed the Liverpool bid - thought to be around £8 million - has them in pole position to sign Coates and the player's father and agent, Peter, is reportedly heading to Merseyside to discuss personal terms with the Reds.
