Real Madrid ready Alberto Moreno move

Real Madrid are preparing a winter bid to bring Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno back to La Liga.

The Spain international joined the Reds from Sevilla in 2014 and has since then made over 50 appearances in all competitions.

Moreno struggled to attain a sufficient game-time at the start of this season, with former boss Brendan Rodgers preferring young teenager Joe Gomez ahead of him in the pecking order.

However, with a long-term injury to Gomez, Moreno has been entrusted with the left-back role, for which he has obliged with a number of good performances.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, Real are set to make a move for the talented full-back as they seek an efficient back-up for the injury-plagued Marcelo.

Moreno has made 20 appearances for his side this season.
