Liverpool are believed to have made a £16.3million bid for Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez, according to the player's agent Pablo Bentancur.

The Uruguayan is being tracked by a number of leading clubs across the continent having enjoyed an excellent campaign in what is an under-performing side.

The 21-year-old signed a new deal with the Serie A club earlier this season and has scored six goals in 30 league appearances this term.

Bentancur has revealed an offer has been lodged by un-named Premier League club, believed to be the Reds.

And a decision will be reached at the end of this season, according to reports in the Metro.

He told Italian TV station TMW: 'Bologna have received an offer near to 20million euros from an important club in the Premier League,'

'Bologna will decide at the end of the season what they are going to do.'
