Liverpool attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri looks set to complete a move to Olympique Lyonnais early this week.
The 29-year-old has seemingly been on the brink of a switch for a number of weeks having made it clear a new challenge was necessary this summer.
Despite being someway apart following early negotiations, the Reds have reached an agreement with the Ligue 1 club.
Confirmed by various reports on Twitter, the official Olympique Lyonnais English account confirmed the transfer on Sunday evening.

The report thanked the work of Liverpool General Manager, Billy Hogan, and Sporting Director, Michael Edwards whilst also confirming a medical will take place on Monday.
Northern Football Correspondent for The Times, Paul Joyce, was one of the first to confirm the agreement on social media, citing a fee of £9.5million for the 96-cap ace.
Shaqiri made 22 appearances last season but hadn’t featured for the Reds in recent weeks as a move drew closer.
