Liverpool look to have been beaten in the race for Udinese defender Cristian Zapata, as he seems to be heading to Villarreal.
The Reds had been heavily linked with the Colombian international centre-back a couple of weeks ago.
However, according to Spanish newspaper Marca, Udinese have a deal in place with Villarreal.
The 'Yellow Submarine' director of sport Antonio Cordon has reportedly secured an agreement for €6m plus ownership of Javier Matilla.
Although Matilla is part of the exchange, he will be loaned out to Granada, the Liga club owned by Udinese patrons the Pozzo family.
