Sebastian Coates to Liverpool FC?

At the time of writing, the Uruguayan central defender Sebastian Coates from Club Nacional could be already touched down at Merseyside by now.

Report from Nacional website, the player’s former club has announced Coates’ sale and given a proper send-off to the young star who spent the past nine years working his way through the academy and then leading his boyhood team to back-to-back league titles.

To further support this news, he was caught by a reporter at Carrasco International Airport as he prepared for his flight to England, where he talked of both his sadness at leaving Nacional and the honour of joining Liverpool, as well as admitting he isn’t likely to be given quite as boisterous a reception as attacking countryman and friend Luis Suarez was.

He also confirmed having refused to move when presented with an earlier offer for a higher fee from Europe—a previously rumoured approach by Ukraine’s FK Dnipro—hoping the interest he had received from England would eventually result in a formal offer.

More news on Sebastian Coates’ transfer later.
