Liverpool have bid £16 million for Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno, with midfielder Suso a possible makeweight in the deal.

Morena is one of several summer targets on what is rapidly emerging as a long list of potential recruits for manager Brendan Rodgers.

Spanish media reported overnight a move had been made for the 21-year-old defender, already known to be on Liverpool's wanted list. It is understood Liverpool have indeed made a formal approach for the players, although he remains one of several full-back options under serious consideration.

The Merseyside club has adopted a policy of making several opening offers for players while maintaining a strong interest in alternatives if their valuations are not met.

Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren of Southampton have been the subject of bids, as has Xherden Shaqiri of Bayern Munich and Emre Can of Bayer Leverkusen.
