What we know

Liverpool are tracking Alberto Moleiro from Villarreal, with several outlets noting the player’s standing in La Liga. His listed contract runs to June 2030.

The story began on 8 Oct, when La Razón and The Hard Tackle reported that Villarreal value Moleiro at €50-60m and are not willing to let him leave unless an offer meets that release clause. CaughtOffside said Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are monitoring the player, valued at €50-60m, but no formal approach has been made yet. On 14 Oct, CaughtOffside added that Liverpool are monitoring Moleiro at Andoni Iraola’s request, with Arsenal and Manchester City also interested. On 29 Oct, MSN claimed Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the Villarreal attacking midfielder as Arsenal and Manchester City join the transfer race.

No formal offer has arrived, per MSN (29 Oct).
