Spanish side Granada have moved to confirm reports they are set to complete the signing of Portuguese defender Tiago Ilori from Liverpool.
The youngster has agreed to join los Rojiblancos on loan until the end of the season in an attempt to gain much needed first team experience.
Granada sporting director Juan Carlos Cordero has revealed that the player is set to undergo a medical before completing the deal.
“There is an agreement between the three parties,” Cordero confessed to O Jogo, adding that Ilori was set to arrive in Granada on Saturday to sign the necessary documentation.
Tiago Ilori came through the youth ranks at Sporting Lisbon and went on to make 11 league appearances for the Lions before signing for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
He has, however, failed to make a single appearance for the Reds this season and was in turn allowed to leave on loan.
Liverpool play host to Aston Villa later today in an attempt to cement the fourth position in the standings, with the Reds 2/9 to emerge victorious.
