Liverpool are reportedly lining up a move for Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto. A report in the English press has claimed that the Reds are set to battle with their rivals Manchester United in pursuit of the Spanish midfielder’s signature. Some bookies are suggesting that the 25-year-old could be used on the right-back position by both clubs if they are successful in their attempts to convince Barcelona to part ways with their prized asset.
Nathaniel Clyne is currently out with a long-term injury and Joe Gomez, who is more of a centre-back is filling out as a makeshift right-back. The youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold has also featured in the position for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool this season although he has been used sporadically so far. So the German manager is likely to have identified the position as an area he needs to address soon as his side prepares to fight for a Champions League spot for next season.
Borussia Dortmund is also being reported to have joined in on the race for Roberto with the reigning Premier League champions Chelsea an outside shout to come in with an offer for him. BetStars Director of Trading Ian Marmion has shed some light on Roberto’s future destinations. He said:
“Manchester United and Liverpool are both interested in signing Barcelona’s versatile midfielder Sergi Roberto in the January transfer window. “Roberto has spent much of the last two seasons playing at right-back and United may see him as a long-term successor to Antonio Valencia, whereas Liverpool could use him immediately, with first-choice right-back Nathaniel Clyne still out with a recurring back injury.
