Liverpool inform club and agent of intention to exercise €30m release clause

Liverpool have informed Valencia and Otorbi's agent of their intention to trigger the 19-year-old winger's €30m release clause.

Liverpool have made a formal approach to Valencia and David Otorbi's agent regarding the Spanish winger's €30m release clause. The 19-year-old, who came through Valencia's youth system, has made 13 first-team appearances and scored in a recent 2-2 draw against Racing Santander. Liverpool's scouts were in Spain ostensibly to watch Harvey Elliott on loan at Mestalla but also met with Valencia's manager and sporting director. Otorbi's agent confirmed multiple Premier League clubs have contacted them in recent weeks.
