Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are among 10 clubs from England who are interested in signing Ilaix Moriba from Barcelona in the summer transfer window, according to 90min.
What’s the story?
90min are reporting today that Liverpool are interested in signing Barcelona youngster Moriba.
The Reds have reportedly spoken to the representatives of Moriba.
However, the former Premier League champions are not the only English club who want to secure the services of the 18-year-old central midfielder this summer.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have long monitored the teenager.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have spoken to Moriba’s agents, just like Liverpool have.
West Ham United, Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton have all been offered the Spanish teenager in recent weeks.
Could a Liverpool transfer happen?
90min are claiming that Barcelona are confident of keeping Moriba and have offered him a new contract.
The youngster is out of contract next summer.
So, if Moriba does not sign a new deal, then an offer from Liverpool could tempt Barcelona into selling him.
After all, the Spanish giants have financial problems.
Moriba made four starts and 10 substitute appearances in La Liga for Barcelona last season.
The midfielder scored one goal and gave two assists in those games.
The teenager also played 11 minutes in the Champions League for Barca last season.
