Liverpool have agreed an 8 million pounds deal to sign full-back Jose Enrique from Newcastle United and hope to wrap up the move by the end of the week.

Executives from both clubs are tying up details on Wednesday on a move that will see Newcastle receive an initial 6 million pounds with an agreement for a further 2 million pounds to be paid in add-ons depending on performance-related targets.

Once a deal is formally struck, Enrique will be given permission to discuss personal terms with Liverpool and undergo a medical on Merseyside. The 25-year-old has indicated his desire to move to Anfield.
