Liverpool willing to pay £22m to sign La Liga forward Alberto Moleiro
Liverpool Football Club are considering a move for Las Palmas’ young forward, Alberto Moleiro. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo via Liverpool Echo, the 19-year-old striker is also subject to transfer interest from Aston Villa and Barcelona, but Liverpool has now entered the race for his signature.
The club is reportedly willing to pay around £22m to secure the services of the talented young forward. Liverpool has been looking for a backup for their star right-winger Mohamed Salah, and Moleiro’s ability to play on the right wing could provide the necessary cover.
Moleiro’s impressive performances this season have caught the attention of several top European clubs. Despite playing for a team in the lower half of the Spanish Segunda Division, Moleiro has been one of the standout performers of the season, providing eight assists in 32 appearances across all competitions.
Liverpool is in need of a quality backup for Salah, who has been a key player for the Reds since his arrival in 2017. With no proven options on the right flank, Liverpool has often struggled when Salah is unavailable or out of form.
Moleiro to the Reds?
Moleiro’s versatility to play on the right wing could offer Liverpool much-needed cover and could also allow Salah to take a rest without affecting the team’s performance in certain competitions.
The Reds are likely to face stiff competition from Barcelona, who are also interested in signing the young forward. However, the report suggests that Liverpool’s interest has made things complicated for the Catalan giants.
Liverpool has a history of nurturing young talent and has a proven track record of developing young players into world-class performers. Moleiro’s potential and versatility make him an exciting prospect for Liverpool, and the club is reportedly willing to pay a significant sum to secure his services.
Liverpool’s interest in Moleiro is a sign that the club is certainly looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season which becomes almost certain after the disappointing loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. The young forward’s ability to play on either wing as well as attacking midfield could add a new dynamic to the Reds’ attack.
