Liverpool 'scout £26m wonderkid' who is 'admired' by Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool are reportedly showing an interest in signing one of the brightest talents from Spain.

As the January transfer window approaches, the Reds are being frequently linked with potential new signings. Just like in the summer, midfield has been the area of the squad that has been talked about the most in terms of need for reinforcements.

One such player is now being linked with a potential move to Anfield. According to reports from Spain, Liverpool are expressing an interest in Las Palmas youngster Alberto Moleiro.

As claimed by Spanish news outlet AS, the Reds have joined the race to sign the talented 19-year-old. It has also been claimed that Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are in the running to sign the teenager.

The article also states that Moleiro, who plays as an attacking midfielder, has a release clause in his contract worth around £26million. However, it has also been claimed that Barcelona are the front runners to sign Moleiro, despite their current financial situation.

It has been reported that Barca have already made a bid for Moleiro, but that Las Palmas have rejected the offer. January has been stated as the time when the teenager could be the subject of a move to a new club.

Liverpool’s name is mentioned in the report once again, with it stating that Jurgen Klopp is an admirer of Moleiro. It has also been claimed that the Reds have sent scouts to watch the youngster in action, and have been impressed by what they’ve seen.
