Shelvey discussing move to MerseysideCharlton have given Premier League side Liverpool permission to speak to 18-year-old midfielder Jonjo Shelvey about a transfer, the Addicks confirmed on Tuesday evening.
Liverpool will pay an initial £1.7m for the England youth international, with further potential payments depending on domestic and international appearances.
Shelvey travelled to Merseyside on Tuesday to agree personal terms and undergo a medical, the results of which won't be known until Wednesday.
As part of the potential transfer, the two clubs are also in talks to develop a strategic partnership involving the development of players in both directions.
Shelvey became Charlton's youngest debutant when he made his first-team bow against Barnsley at Oakwell in April 2008, aged just 16 years and 59 days. He is also the club's youngest FA Cup and league goalscorer.
The Romford-born attacker has made 48 appearances and scored eight times for the Addicks, including four goals in the current campaign.
