Benfica have joined the race to sign Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno this summer.
As reported by The Mirror, Benfica and Barcelona are both interested in signing the left-back at the end of the season.
Moreno is poised to leave Liverpool at the end of his current contract, which expires next month.
The club have not offered him a new deal, with Andy Robertson the undisputed number one left-back at Anfield over the past two seasons under Jurgen Klopp.
Moreno has made only two Premier League appearances this season and made 90 in total since joining the club from Sevilla in 2014.
The report does, however, claim that Moreno’s demands could mean that Benfica are unable to land their target. He wants a long-term deal of four to five years, worth £3m per season, which may be too expensive for the Portuguese outfit. Barcelona, however, are unlikely to have any issues with those figures.
