Liverpool have opened talks with Barcelona full-back Martin
Montoya in the hope of securing a transfer in January.
The Spain U21 international can play at left-back or
right-back and is out of contract at the end of the season.
He could leave the Nou Camp on a free transfer in the
summer, but Liverpool are keen on a new-year deal.
Montoya, 22, is behind Dani Alves in the pecking order at
the Spanish champions and Liverpool are one of several clubs tracking him.
Ian Ayre, the Liverpool managing director, travelled to
Barcelona this week in an effort to secure an earlier move.
Montoya is a product of the Barcelona youth system and has
played for Spain from U17 to U21 level as well as their Olympic team, and has
also been in the senior squad but has yet to win a senior cap.
