Ragnar Klavan 'on verge of Liverpool exit'

Liverpool defender Ragnar Klavan is reportedly on the verge of completing a £2m move to Serie A side Cagliari.

The 32-year-old is eager to leave Anfield this month in search of more regular first-team football, having fallen behind Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez in the centre-back pecking order.

Liverpool are not actively looking to sell Klavan but are willing to listen to offers, and the Evening Standard reports that they have now agreed a £2m fee with Cagliari.

The Estonian will now fly to Italy to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms with the club ahead of today's Italian transfer deadline.

Klavan has one year remaining on the initial three-year deal he signed when joining Liverpool from Augsburg in 2016, since when he has made 53 appearances for the club across all competitions.
