Javier Moya, Moreno’s agent, says that his client is pleased by Benfica’s interest, as he weighs up his options.

The report also claims that Benfica are looking to sign Moreno in order to replace his compatriot Alex Grimaldo. Borussia Dortmund and Napoli are both said to be interested in signing Grimaldo from the Portuguese side this summer.

There is interest in Benfica and it is something that pleases the player, because Benfica are a great club,

Moreno is out of contract at the end of this season and is set to be available on a free transfer, with Liverpool not ready to offer him a new contract.

He has only featured twice in the Premier League this season, with Andy Robertson being Jurgen Klopp’s undisputed first-choice in that position.
