Shock as Barcelona want Liverpool backup option

Posted by

Alberto Moreno is being targeted by Barcelona, reports the Daily Mail.

The 26-year-old is backup to Andy Robertson at Liverpool, but the Spanish giants are interested in the left-back as Jordi Alba’s potential new reserve.

The report says they’re also considering Nacho Monreal of Arsenal.

Moreno is a solid sub for us and actually started last season in terrific form before an injury derailed his progress.

He hasn’t got back in the side since then, with a poor outing away at Sevilla the nail in the coffin of his role as a starter.

If Barcelona offer a tidy sum, and Moreno wants to leave, perhaps it would be smart business, but really, he’s a handy bench player and someone who’s very much liked in the squad.

Robbo could potentially be our starting left-back for the next six or seven years; he’s that good – so a strong, happy backup is going to be an essential part of Klopp’s squads throughout his tenure in charge.

Unless the money is very big, let’s keep him.
