Estadio Deportivo is reporting that Liverpool are hoping to sign Sevilla forward Luis Alberto in the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old footballer was loaned to Barcelona last summer and he largely impressed playing for Barcelona B.
However, despite scoring 11 goals in 37 league matches and racking up the most assists in the team, Barcelona officials opted against making the loan deal permanent.
The player is, therefore, set to return to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but there is every chance he will be leaving Sevilla again.
According to Estadio Deportivo, Liverpool and Swansea are showing interest in the 20-year-old with a view of luring him to English Premier League at the end of the current campaign.
The Reds are prepared to offer around £5 million for Luis Alberto, but Sevilla is holding out for £8 million.
With Jesus Navas set to join Manchester City and Alvaro Negredo also likely to leave, los Rojiblancos are under no pressure to sell.
