Atletico Madrid are set to break Liverpool supporters hearts as they lead the tace to sign Sevilla fullback Alberto Moreno. 

According to Spanish newspaper daily AS, the La Liga champions are set to submit a formal ÂŁ12 million bid for the highly rated defender. 

Liverpool have been keen on the 22 year old for sometime now, and have been linked with a possible transfer. 

To fund the deal, Atletico are planning to use Javi Manquillo as bait to Sevilla, which will come as a huge blow to Arsenal after they had initial plans of loaning Manquillo as a back-up option for new signing Matheiu Debuchy.

Arsene Wenger was keen to sign the young right-back so that he could then send his own youngsters out on loan for the season.

Both Hector Bellerin and Carl Jenkinson were set for loan spells away, but if Madrid do use Manquillo as bait for Moreno, it could damage Wenger’s chances of doing so.
