Liverpool’s recruiting team may be paying more attention to La Liga 2 after Luis Enrique admitted he is a big fan of Alberto Moleiro.
This follows Aitor Unzue’s thoughts on the teenager, with the scout praising his positional versatility amid reported interest from the Reds (per Mundo Deportivo, via Team Talk).
“Ah, I really like it,” the Spain boss said in his latest Twitch stream (as broadcast by Football Espana).
The 19-year-old star currently plays for UD Las Palmas and has registered three assists in 17 league games this season.

It is believed that we are keeping an eye on multiple midfield additions over the next two windows with Jude Bellingham considered a top priority.
However, playing in the second division of Spanish football, Moleiro, despite the growing buzz around his name, could still be a comparatively cheap option for an interested party.
Since he’s already caught the eye of Spain’s national boss, of course it’s perhaps wise for us to move sooner rather than later, especially given that Palmas is currently on his way to promotion to the top flight.
The ability to play a multitude of positions is sure to appeal to Jurgen Klopp should he be a serious target.
