Liverpool could save €30m with January transfer of Spain's 'greatest talent'; Barcelona, Real Madrid also enthusiastic
Liverpool are said to be 'interested' in signing Las Palmas midfielder Alberto Moleiro, but Barcelona and Real Madrid are also battling for his services.
This afternoon we have a new player added to Liverpool's seemingly ever-growing list of transfer targets.
Although they want to use most of their budget next summer to buy Jude Bellingham, a few more signings are likely to be needed to freshen up Jurgen Klopp's squad.
This is necessary given that the Liverpool squad is not getting any younger and adding more young players to their squad is not a bad idea.
Club legend John Barnes has suggested using Harvey Elliott, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz to build the future. And Moleiro is a teenager who could be added to this group.
The 19-year-old has already been capped at U21 level for Spain and has come through the ranks at Las Palmas in the Segunda Division.
The versatile attacking midfielder played 51 times for his boyhood club. He scored three goals and provided four assists during this period.
Spanish outlet AS (via Sport Witness) are now reporting that Liverpool have received 'very good reports' on Moleiro and are 'liked' by Jurgen Klopp.
He is highly regarded in Spain as he is considered one of the country's 'greatest talents'. So it's no surprise that Barcelona and Real Madrid are 'eyeing' for him.
Moleiro also has admirers further afield, as Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund are "greedy" and have sent a scout to follow him.
But Liverpool are 'in the running' to sign him as they certainly have an 'interest' in bringing him to Anfield.
If they want to sign him, Liverpool will likely have to pay a hefty fee. The report claims that Las Palmas wanted €15m this summer, but they are "now waiting for his €3m release clause to be met".
There could be a rush to sign Moleiro in January because if Las Palmas are promoted to La Liga, his release clause will increase to €60m next summer.
Las Palmas currently sit third in Spain's second tier, but they will be just one point behind league leaders Deportivo Alaves if they win their game in hand.
Another player Liverpool have been linked with in recent days is Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente.
Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness) are now reporting that offers for Llorente 'could be considered' by the La Liga outfit.
It should be noted that both Liverpool and Man Utd have had Llorente 'on their agenda' in recent years.
It is also suggested that Atletico Madrid value the midfielder at around €40m before January.
