Liverpool FC tracking Real Betis defender Riza Durmisi

Liverpool FC are reportedly tracking Real Betis defender Riza Durmisi.

The 23-year-old Denmark international (15 caps since 2015) is apparently attracting interest from Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp with Anfield scouts said to be currently monitoring his performances.

However, Klopp recently said that he had no intentions of buying a left-back in the summer saying he has faith in James Milner and Alberto Moreno – although we’re not convinced. Milner is ‘doing a job’ but few fans believe Moreno is worth of retention.

Is Klopp really satisfied with his current options? Hardly. But he needs to strengthen other areas of the team first and may not have the additional resources to bring in a left-back.

Durmisi only made the switch to Real Betis last summer from Brøndby having agreed a 5-year contract with the Spanish outfit who paid £1.7million for him.

It is claimed that his release clause [ ED: Philippe Coutinho doesn’t have one of those 😉 ] is set at £17million.

Today’s reports sound speculative but we wouldn’t immediately dismiss reports that link us with left-sided defenders.
