Gremio club president Romildo Bolzan has revealed that Liverpool do not have an agreement in place to bring striker Luan to Anfield
LIVERPOOL do not have an agreement in place to bring in Gremio striker Luan, dubbed ‘the new Ronaldinho’ Gremio have confirmed.
There were strong rumours earlier on in the week that the Reds had agreed a £26million fee for the 24-year-old striker, but club president Romildo Bolzan has rebuffed the claims.

Jurgen Klopp is believed to be a strong admirer of the exciting Brazilian as he has dazzled this season, resulting in him earning his first cap for the senior side against Colombia in January.
Speaking after his club’s 2-0 win over Botafogo, Bolzan said: “Luan is a player who said he would have proposals but so far none have come, except for one about three years ago when he was on a different level.
“We have no approach, no official proposal (from Liverpool).
“We have absolutely no concrete proposal.”
