Liverpool eye summer move for Spanish stopper
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set for a summer battle with Merseyside rivals Everton for Sevilla’s highly rated goalkeeper Sergio Rico.
The Spanish club are ready to cash in on the £15 million-rated Rico this summer and Klopp is said to be keen to add him to the Reds’ squad.
But he faces plenty of competition for the starlet who helped his side win the Europa League crown last season.
Everton are also targeting him, as well as Southampton, but sources say that Rico, 22, could favour a move to Anfield despite competition from Simon Mignolet.
Rico is highly rated in Spain, where he is seen as someone who could in time challenge Manchester United stopper David De Gea for his national place.
