Report from David Lynch (not sure who he is) that the deal is all but done, compensation agreed and just medical and signature required. Like most of these type of transfers, I prefer to wait and see. Klopp is notorious for playing transfer interests down.

Woukdnt surprise me. I think it’s in Fulham’s best interest to get it done rather than risk losing him for pennies to a foreign club (he’s Portuguese heritage so more likely to move abroad than if he was English) or go through the tribunal

I agree.

Other than him being born in Portugal, I don't know anything about his background or how he gets to play for England. Obviously wouldn't affect where he chooses to move to.

Was reading about it the other day. Parents moved over from Portugal when he was 11, was in benfica academy before left and then played locally before being dived by Fulham. Apparently we tried to sign him to the academy but chose Fulham

But from Calvalho's perspective, there is no need to rush into anything. Even if he prefers Liverpool, he may as well explore his options now he's allowed to speak to foreign clubs anyway

Maybe. Depends. If he really wants to go then get it done. If he suffers a big injury before he signs a deal might be at risk of getting a move etc

Interesting that his nationality is listed as Timorese (Timor having been a Portuguese colony).
I'm guessing maybe one parent is Timorese and one English?
