Barcelona could be one of the teams that will strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window, as they are eyeing Liverpool’s left-back Alberto Moreno, according to the Sun.
Moreno moved from Sevilla to Liverpool in 2014 for a reported fee of £12 million. In his first two seasons at the Anfield-based club, Moreno became a prominent entity in the team, playing over 90 matches across all competitions in those two seasons alone.
The Spaniard has made just 1 appearance this season and is expected to remain on the sidelines for a majority of the season and his contract expires next summer and Liverpool will be expected to offload him in January.
Meanwhile, are extremely keen on signing a left-back as a replacement to their first-choice left-back, Jordi Alba.
This deal would make sense for all parties involved. From Barcelona's perspective, they'd get a relatively young and affordable back-up for Jordi Alba.
From Liverpool's perspective, Moreno is an almost forgotten player at Anfield, and profiting from his sale would be seen as the best step, rather than a free transfer away.
From Moreno's perspective, his playing time at Liverpool doesn't look like it can improve. If he's going to be a background player, he might as well be so at Barcelona than Liverpool.
