Liverpool and Aston Villa have reached an agreement over the transfer of striker Christian Benteke, according to Sky sources. Liverpool have already met the £32.5m release fee clause in Benteke's contract and the two Premier League clubs have been in talks over the weekend over the finer details of the Belgium international's transfer. The 24-year-old is expected to have his medical with the Reds by Tuesday morning. Benteke, who has two years remaining on his Villa contract, has scored 49 goals in 101 appearances for the club since he joined from Genk in 2012.

Goalkeeper Sergio Romero is set to undergo a medical to join Manchester United on a free transfer. The 28-year-old will fly to the US to meet with the Manchester United squad and also undergo a medical. Sergio Romero is to replace the departing Victor Valdes.

Romero is the current Argentina No1 and has won 64 caps for the national team. He has been without a club after his Sampdoria contract ended last month.
