Liverpool They are reportedly interested in signing Las Palmas star Alberto Moleiro this summer, according to the Spanish outlet. AS.
Having come through the Spanish team's youth system, the 20-year-old has established himself as a key player in García Pimienta's starting eleven in recent years.

AS He also claims that Moleiro has a £51m release clause in his current contract, but Las Palmas could be willing to cash in on him if they receive an offer of at least £21m. Thus, Liverpool could sign him for an affordable price this summer.
However, the Spanish media claims that Inter Milan are also interested in acquiring him and, in addition, Real Betis and Villarreal are also interested in him. The Reds will therefore face fierce competition from their rivals to secure any potential deal for him.
Moleiro is technically sound, has the ability to dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, can make passes between the lines and also has a good eye for scoring goals from distance.
