Liverpool Leading to Sign Quality €50million Star

Liverpool really need to reinforce their defense next summer and they have already taken steps to do exactly that.
The Reds have already agreed (LFC) a deal to sign Schalke center back Joel Matip in the summer transfer window. Now, there are reports suggesting that the Merseysiders have already moved in to sign another center back in the form of Barcelona Marc Bartra.
According to reports (Talksport via El Confidencial), Liverpool are leading the race to sign the 25-year-old Spanish defender and hope to seal a deal to secure him before the start of the Euro 2016 in France.

As per the provided Talksport link, Manchester United and Spurs are interested in signing Bartra as well but Liverpool seem favorites to get him.
The quality Spaniard has got a release clause of €50m (Sport) in his contract but will surely be sold for cheap because he rarely starts for the European Champions. He needs regular game time which is only possible if he leaves the Catalan giants. This season, he has only started 3 league games for Barca.
Liverpool may have a new central defensive partnership of Matip and Bartra next season. Not to forget, they already have four CBs in the form of Toure, Skrtel, Sakho and Lovren.
