"Near Liverpool agreement with defender Jose Enrique" © EuroFootball.com

Around 6 million euros were agreed to acquire left-back defender Jose Enrique, as reported by "Liverpool Echo".

The 25-year-old footballer's contract with Newcastle club was supposed to expire after the upcoming season. The Spaniard stated that he does not intend to renew it, so "Newcastle" took advantage of the opportunity to receive compensation.

Meanwhile, "Liverpool" actively searched in the market for a left-back defender, as Paul Konchesky, who nominally played in that position, was sold, Emiliano Insua did not meet expectations, and Fabio Aurelio was constantly plagued by injuries.

It is said that in the "Newcastle" team, Enrique is supposed to replace Eindhoven PSV defender Erik Pieters.
