Out-of-favour Liverpool defender set for exit after failed contract extension talks

Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno is intent on leaving the side in the summer after contract talks failed, according to Estadio Deportivo (h/t Daily Star).

The Spaniard has failed to usurp Andy Robertson from the starting XI and has mostly played our cup games with one or two Premier League appearances.

The report adds that Liverpool planned to renew the left-back’s deal in the summer, however, Moreno seeks a return to his former club Sevilla.

The Spaniard signed for Liverpool from the La Liga sides, but they aren’t planning to re-sign him just yet. The report adds that Moreno has other options with Italy being a possible destination while lucrative offers have come from Russia and Turkey too.

Liverpool have a decision to make about the defender as he can speak with foreign clubs in the winter window.

The Spaniard is free to move in the summer, but we should keep him till the end of the campaign due to a lack of senior left-backs.

Robertson needs to have some cover for the remainder of the campaign, even if we are only playing in the Premier League and Champions League.

Moreno might be a liability in defence with some of his decision making, but he always gives his 100% when on the pitch.
