In contrast, South American journalist, Jorge Nicola, has revealed that Liverpool have actually submitted a bid worth £38million (45 million euros) for Ederson.
As per recent reports in the Italian media, the above offer might not be enough to land the talented midfielder, who is valued at around £46.8million (55 million euros) by the Bergamo club.
