Fiorentina 'agree deal to sign Joao Teixeira at end of season'

Liverpool midfielder Joao Teixeira has reportedly agreed a deal to join Fiorentina at the end of the season.

The 23-year-old's current contract ends this summer, and he is understood to be keen on a move away from Anfield having failed to break into the first team since his arrival in 2012.

Respected Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio is now reporting that the Portugal Under-21 international has agreed terms with Fiorentina and will move to the Serie A club at the end of the campaign.

Teixeira got his first goal for Liverpool in their 3-0 FA Cup victory over Exeter City earlier this season, but made just eight first-team appearances for the club in all competitions.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to make numerous changes to his squad this summer, with the likes of Joel Matip and Marko Grujic already having agreed to join the Reds next season.
