Alberto Moreno Expected to Agree Lazio Move as Liverpool Defender's Contract Nears End

Lazio are believed to be moving closer to agreeing a pre-contract agreement to sign Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno at the end of his contract.

After Andrew Robertson burst into the Reds' regular starting line-up last season, Moreno saw his game time at Anfield dramatically cut - after already suffering the indignity of dropping below James Milner in the left-back pecking order the previous season.

The Spaniard's contract expires in the summer and he looks certain to leave the club at the end of the season.

According to the Independent, Lazio are the frontrunners to secure Moreno's services, after Roma's hopes of signing the 26-year-old ground to a halt when their former transfer guru jumped ship to Sevilla earlier in the week.
