Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are competing with Manchester City and Real Madrid among other clubs for Las Palmas attacking midfielder Alberto Moleiro in the January transfer window, according to MundoDeportivo.
The Spanish news outlet has reported that Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund all are keen on securing the services of Moleiro from Spanish club Las Palmas.
Moleiro’s current release clause in his contract, which runs until June 2026, is €30 million (£26.41 million).
If Las Palmas get promoted to La Liga, then the attacking midfielder’s release clause will increase to €60 million (£52.83 million).
García Pimienta’s side are second in the LaLiga2 table at the moment with 27 points from 15 matches, three points behind leaders Alaves.
The Spain Under-21 international attacking midfielder has given three assists in 14 LaLiga2 matches so far this season.
Alberto Moleiro too expensive for Liverpool?
In our opinion, Liverpool are unlikely to be able to sign Alberto Moleiro from Las Palmas in the January transfer window.
With so many clubs interested in the playmaker, Las Palmas will surely not sell him in January for anything less than his release clause, especially as they are very much in the race for promotion to La Liga at the end of the season.
Would Liverpool pay €30 million (£26.41 million) for a 19-year-old who is not even playing in the top flight of Spanish football?
We do not think so.
