Liverpool Reportedly Reject £11M Alberto Moreno Bid from Napoli, Set £15M Fee

Liverpool have reportedly rejected an £11 million offer from Napoli for full-back Alberto Moreno, with the Reds unwilling to budge from their £15 million asking price.

Per James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo, Moreno is still expected to leave the club this summer, with Sevilla and two unnamed Premier League clubs also interested.

With so much interest in the 24-year-old, Liverpool are willing to play the waiting game until someone meets their valuation.

Moreno moved to Liverpool from Sevilla in 2014 as a raw but athletically gifted full-back known for his tremendous attacking output. The Reds hoped he would continue his development at Anfield, but he never took the next step and saw his playing time decrease as a result.

Last year, he started just two Premier League matches, with the bulk of his appearances coming off the bench. James Milner made the unlikely transition to left-back in a hurry and gave the Reds a dependable option at the position all year long.

While he's still just 24 years old, Moreno hasn't shown much during his spell with the Reds, and the decision to reject the £11 million offer was met with ridicule on social media.

Betting company Paddy Power joined in on the fun:

As the market for quality left-backs thins, someone might take a chance on his potential and athletic gifts and give the Reds what they want.
