Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly interested in signing Real Valladolid attacker Raul Moro.

The 22-year-old has scored three times and registered one assist in 16 La Liga appearances this season, with the Spaniard having his first taste of top-flight Spanish action during the 2024-25 campaign.

Moro represented both Espanyol and Barcelona during his youth career before making the move to Lazio, turning out for the Italian team on 20 occasions, including 13 Serie A appearances, before returning to Spain.

The attacker had a loan spell with Oviedo before moving to Real Valladolid, initially on loan, and he has represented his current team on 47 occasions, scoring five goals and registering six assists in the process.

Moro's strong form for a struggling outfit has allegedly not gone unnoticed this season, with a number of major clubs believed to be keeping a close eye on his development with a view to a potential move.

Liverpool, Man City, Spurs 'all keen on Moro'

According to Sport, Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham are all admirers of Moro, with the Premier League trio thought to be considering making offers for him next year.

The report claims that Moro's 'age and potential' makes him a very attractive proposition, and it is believed that Real Valladolid would listen to offers of around €10m (£8.2m) for the forward.

Moro has scored against Espanyol, Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao in La Liga this season, while he helped his side record a 1-0 victory over Valencia in Spain's top flight last time out.

The Spaniard is capable of operating down the right, but his best football has come off the opposite side this season, scoring three times and registering one assist in 13 appearances after starting down the left.

Is a January deal possible?

Man City, rather than Liverpool, are expected to boost their attack in January, with the Citizens desperately looking for some inspiration during a very difficult period of the campaign.

Real Valladolid will, for obvious reasons, be desperate to keep hold of Moro, as a mid-season departure would be hugely damaging to their hopes of remaining in La Liga this season.

However, if a sizeable offer is presented next month, then it would place the Spanish outfit in a tough spot, and it would certainly not be a surprise to see the talented La Liga attacker depart at the start of 2025.
