The Reds are currently in urgent need of cover in the left-back position at Anfield for the second half of this campaign after the serious knee injury picked up by first-choice full-back Jose Enrique recently, with the Spaniard not expected to be back in action until February at the earliest after having an operation to cure the problem.
And that is now likely to force Liverpool head coach Brendan Rodgers back into the transfer market in January in the search for a new defender, with the young Spaniard understood to currently be top of the Northern Irishman’s wish list.
In fact, it is believed that the club’s managing director, Ian Ayre, has already flown to Catalunya to conduct face-to-face talks with representatives from the La Liga champions over a possible deal for the 22-year-old in January, says the Daily Mirror.
