Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has reportedly received a boost in his chase for Liverpool defensive midfielder Pedro Chirivella.
Earlier on Sunday, Goal.com reported of interest from Rangers manager Gerrard in signing Chirivella on a free transfer this summer.
The 22-year-old is out of contract at the Reds this summer and will be available on a free agent.
The report claimed that Liverpool want the Spaniard to stay and have offered him a five-year contract.
A new report in The Liverpool Echo has claimed that Chirivella – who cost the Merseyside outfit £2 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Valencia in 2013 – will leave Liverpool this summer despite being offered a new contract.
