Tottenham and Liverpool door open for £8m Lionel Messi-esque talent as ‘club has to sell’
The life of a ‘selling club’ means that – when Premier League giants like Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester City start circling – offers will be considered.
And, according to reports, one of the rising stars of Spanish foo🍌tball may be available for th♎e sort of sum that Pep Guardiola could find down the back of the sofa.
Guardiola’s Manchester City are ‘closely following’ Raul Moro, it is claimed. As are Liverpool and high-flying Nottingham Forest. Tottenham have𝓡 been✃ watching the Real Valladolid speedster too, with techniܫcal director Johan Lange keen to include Moro on their shopping list heading into 2025, per .
Raul Moro, say, could be🦂 available for as little as £8 million.
So, while the former Spain Under 21 international would be ‘on𓃲e for the future’ – a project signing with a lot to learn – a rumoured 10 million euro price-tag means Raul Moro feels like a risk worth ta𓄧king.

Real Valladolid will sell Raul Moro as Tottenham and Liverpool watch winger
Domingo Catoira, Real Valladolid’s sporting director, spoke to this week. And he admits that, with the Pucela one of the more low-budget members of La Liga football, the former Barcelona starlet – nor anyone else in the Vallodolid squad – cannot be considered uns🃏ellable.
“The club has a responsibility tꦬo maintain financial balance,” Catoira says. “If we bring in players, it is by selling others.
“To meet ceꦿrtain objectives, the club has to sell players. Beyond specific names, if offers are made, the club will analyse what is most positive without losing sporting power.
“All offers will be considered, and a possible sale could strengthen the squad at a sporting level to achieveღ the objective of st🤪aying up.”
Sitting 19th in La Liga with only three wins from 17 games, Real Va🙈lladolid face an uphill battle staying in La Liga.
Formerly of Lazio, Raul Moro was likened to Lionel Messi in Barcelona’s La Mas🅘ia academy, according to the 22-year-old’s agent. Moro certainly shares Messi’s diminutive frame at 5ft 6i𒈔ns, not t꧙o mention his ability to breeze past bemused full-backs, though Valladolid’s number 11 is more comfortable drifting in from the left onto his right foot.
Lionel Messi-esque Raul Moro focused on La Liga future
Moro, in quotes reported by , was quizzed on the speculation regarding🥀 a potential cut-price move to English football in the New Year. He is refusing to look too far award, however, focusing only on helping Valladolid drag themselves out of the bottom three.
“I try to isolate myself and I haven’t seen much,” Moro says. “I’m focused on finishing the year here and doing well because, if you don’t do well at your club, those things [like a big transfer] never come. My men🐓tality is to do well here and, then, we’ll see.
“I still have a lot of room for improvement. When you feel wanted in a place and you feel good, whe🌠n nothing goes wrong around you, the football that a player has [in his locker] ends up coming out.
“Since I arrived at Valladolid, Iꦇ have felt on the rise, with more and more confidence and weight and that is good for a pl💛ayer. That is why I think I can continue improving.”
A number of La Liga talents are emerging as Premier League targets with the January window now just a fortnight away. Arsenal and Aston Villa scouted Alex Baena as the Villarrea🎃l playmaker shone for Spain against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League.
Osasuna duo Aimor Oroz and Enzo Boyomo are Ast♛on Villa targets too.
