Liverpool to wrap up deal for Real Madrid ace Figo

Liverpool could complete the signing of Real Madrid star Luis Figo this week.
 
Negotiations over a pay-out from the final year of Figo's contract are being held with Real officials this weekend.

The Daily Post says the Bernabeu club are now understood to have agreed to waive the £2million transfer fee that they had initially wanted which sacred off Liverpool.

Now his representatives were hoping to secure the former world player of the year's move to Merseyside by agreeing a settlement fee with the Spanish giants for the final year of the midfielder's contract.

Liverpool, who publically at least had feared that the move was dead earlier in the week, were last night buoyed by the news that Figo could become part of Rafael Benitez's squad.
