This comes courtesy of a tweet from Fichajes journalist, Ekrem Konur, with the reporter claiming that the Reds have made an improved bid for the Frenchman.

Being apparently close to agreeing a deal with Calvin Ramsay after securing winter target, Fabio Carvalho, we could have an impressive array of business wrapped up before the season draws to a close.
