The Blaugrana are reportedly interested in making the Reds star their marquee acquisition during the summer 2022 transfer window to round out the roster.
If Barcelona is successful, Sergino Dest, the Spanish club’s current right-back, may be replaced (or even improved upon) by the 23-year-old. Manchester United and Atletico Madrid have expressed interest in Dest this summer.

“To play for Liverpool is the dream, the aim, and I can’t see it changing, to be fair.
“As long as possible I want to have that relationship with Liverpool, to be a Liverpool player.”
