Recently linked with Benfica in Portugal and Fenerbahce in Turkey, Liverpool’s Alberto Moreno, whose contract at Anfield runs out at the end of the month, could end up in Italy.
Speaking after the Champions League final, the left-back explained he wasn’t ‘closing the door’ to any country for his next club, meaning he’s open to pretty much anything.
Over in Italy, Il Tempo on Monday explain the Liverpool defender’s profile ‘continues to please’ Lazio to bolster their backline, in need of a revamp if they want to end up higher than eighth next season.
Despite winning the Coppa Italia, Simone Inzaghi’s men disappointed a bit too much throughout the league campaign, and there’s hope their qualification for the Europa League group stage via their cup victory will help them get the personnel they need.
Furthermore, the appeal to sign a player of Moreno’s ability on a free is there, and Lazio will undoubtedly be using his friendships with both Lucas Leiva and Luis Alberto to get in front of the competition.
Since arriving from Sevilla back in 2014, the left-back has made 141 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, scoring three goals and picking up 11 assists.
However, he only managed to make it onto the field five times last season, hindered by a certain Andy Robertson, who has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the world under Jürgen Klopp following his transfer from Hull City.
