Barcelona target astonishing January move for flop Premier League star

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.
