Contact Already Made – Liverpool Look to Agree $26million Player Signing

Jurgen Klopp DortmundIt will be fair to say that John Arne Riise was the last consistent left back for Liverpool and since he left, the Reds have struggled to replace him.
The Merseysiders signed Moreno under the management of Brendan Rodgers and the Spanish international is mainly a bench warmer because Klopp is using James Milner, a natural midfielder, in the left back position.
The German manager must solve the dilemma this summer by signing a natural LB and once again Theo Hernandez is in the focus.
Not so long ago, we covered a report (via Cadena Ser) claiming that the Reds have contacted Atletico and inquired about signing the 19-year-old starlet, who is currently playing on loan for Deportivo Alaves.
Now, according to Independent, the Reds, Real Madrid and even Barcelona have been scouting the youngster, who has a release clause of 24 million euros ($26million) in his contract.
The French defender has impressed big time with Alaves and could end up moving to a big club this summer. In 25 league appearances, the teenage boy has provided four assists in the current campaign.
Theo is without doubt talented but Liverpool need a proven quality left back to finally solve the on going conundrum.
The Los Blancos mainly use Marcelo in the left back position. Coentrao has mostly been on the treatment and needs to leave. Hernandez could be a decent replacement for the Portuguese international.
