Barcelona are interested in renting a midfielder from Liverpool.

The Spaniard looked set to join RB Salzburg on loan, but he could now move to Barcelona.

Salzburg are managed by former Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders, who rates the player highly.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is keen to expand his midfield options before the transfer window closes.

The player needs playing time, which could lead to him leaving Anfield temporarily.
