Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is on the verge of completing the signing of Deportivo La Coruna defender Alvaro Arbeloa.
The 24-year-old is reported to be about to undergo a medical at Anfield.
The Reds also hope to seal deals to sign Malaga's Francis Duran and Javier Mascherano from West Ham United before the transfer window closes.
"The club has got a very good investment," said Depor coach Joaquin Caparros.
"I'm as surprised as anyone," said Arbeloa.
"It looks like a good move for me and Depor - especially as they are going to get double what they paid for me."
