The 18-year-old moved from Wiener Austria to FC Liverpool for three million euros in July. Ndukwe is now reportedly set to be loaned to Spain.
Ifeanyi Ndukwe is on the verge of a move to UD Levante!
According to "Sky" reports, the young central defender is set to be loaned to UD Levante in La Liga. The U17 World Cup runner-up is expected to fly to Spain in the coming days to sign a one-year loan deal.
The Spanish club will not receive a purchase option. At Liverpool, defensive leader Virgil van Dijk and legend Steven Gerrard both hold the former Austrian in high regard.

Loan as the only option
The 18-year-old has not received a work visa for the United Kingdom because the central defender has not yet accumulated the required 15 points for a "Governing Body Endorsement."
Non-English players must demonstrate these points to be eligible to play matches in England. During the "Reds'" pre-season, Ndukwe amassed the most minutes.
UD Levante lost their first game of the season on Sunday against Espanyol Barcelona 0-3.
Last season, they narrowly avoided relegation to the second division, finishing 18th.
