Alberto Moreno has not made a Premier League appearance for Liverpool this season but is being linked with La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Alberto Moreno has fallen well down the pecking order after one mistake too many at Liverpool and has made just 16 Premier League starts since the beginning of the 2016/17 campaign.

But, according to the Mail, three of the biggest clubs in European football are still keen to sign the much-maligned left-back in 2019: Real Madrid, Barcelona and Arsenal.

Moreno is out of contract at the end of the season and the Mail believes that he could reject a new deal (if he is offered one) in an attempt to rebuild his reputation elsewhere.

It is well documented that Barcelona need a back-up option to Jordi Alba, having sold Lucas Digne to Everton in the summer, while Arsenal head coach Unai Emery was the man who gave Moreno his break with Sevilla.

But Real Madrid are the latest, and perhaps most eye-catching, name in the frame. Marcelo is seen by some as the best left-back in world football, while Theo Hernandez is set to return to the Bernabeu next year after his loan spell at Real Sociedad comes to an end.
