Tottenham Hotspur have hit a snag in their attempts to secure the services of Villarreal defender Mateo Musacchio, after late interest from Liverpool.
With Danish centre-back Daniel Agger moving ever closer to an Anfield exit, Brendan Rodgers is thought to regard 23-year-old Musacchio as a long-term replacement.
The Argentinian centre-back looked certain to complete a move to north London this week, but reports from Spain suggest Musacchio is now keen to talk to Liverpool.
