Cristian Zapata has ignored Liverpool's interest and agreed a deal with Spanish side Villarreal.
Liverpool made a bid for the Udinese central defender last month, but Villarreal were always at the head of the queue which also included German side Bayern Munich.
After talks with Zapata’s agent, Villarreal have come to agreement with the Colombian Defender.
The 24-year-old has agreed a five-year deal and will officially sign the deal after the Copa America.
"They were the first club to show an interest in him," his agent Jerome Barbadillo said when asked why he opted for Villarreal.
"He is very happy, but is now focused on the Copa America - but he is aware of everything."
The deal is understood to be worth €7million and they are also reported to have offered them one of Jozy Altidore or Marco Ruben.
