Liverpool will reportedly not only face competition from Napoli in the transfer race for Benfica left-back Alejandro Grimaldo, but the Italians are also said to be sounding out interest in Reds defender Alberto Moreno.

The Merseysiders have for some time been linked with Napoli left-back Faouzi Ghoulam as an upgrade of their own, and Sport Witness reported his recent "season-ending injury" turned the Partenopei's attention to Moreno.

It was during a recent UEFA Champions League defeat to Manchester City that Ghoulam tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, as confirmed at the time by football writer Philippe Auclair:

Moreno has himself been linked with the Anfield exit in recent times after falling behind converted midfielder James Milner for the vast majority of last season, but a recent return to form has him back in the good books.
