# Liverpool showing the strongest interest in signing Junior Firpo

Liverpool are reportedly at the front of the queue to sign Real Betis defender Junior Firpo.

The left-back recently featured for Spain’s Under-21 team at the European Championships, where they lifted the trophy after defeating Germany Under-21s in the final.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were recently [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/06/20/liverpool-identify-firpo-as-moreno-replacement/) with a move for Junior, with the club understood to be on the lookout for a replacement for Alberto Moreno, whose contract at Anfield expired this summer.

The 22-year-old spent last season marauding down the left-hand side of the pitch for Betis, and [Mucho Deporte](https://www.muchodeporte.com/real_betis/45966/el_liverpool_apuesta_fuerte_por_junior/) reports Liverpool have displayed the strongest interest in securing a deal for him.

Andy Robertson is likely to be the club’s starting defender in this position next season, but beyond the Scotsman, there is little depth, indicating that a move for Junior may be on the cards.

Betis are reportedly demanding at least €30 million along with Divock Origi as a sweetener in the deal, or the full extent of the youngster’s €50 million release clause.
