There have been plenty of rumours over the
past couple of days – on Wednesday
morning, Madrid-based paper Marca confirm
that Atletico Madrid defender Javier
Manquillo is joining Liverpool on loan.” The 20-year-old right back had been of
interest to Arsenal but it appears Liverpool
have beaten off competition from their
Premier League rivals.
Marca confirm that Manquillo has signed a
two-year loan deal at Liverpool and have an
option to buy the player for six million euros.
Atletico were concerned that Manquillo
would get little playing time with Juanfran
the preferred choice for coach Diego Simeone
on the right side of defence.
They feel Manquillo needs minutes on the
pitch to improve and are hopeful he will get
playing time at Anfield, despite the presence
of Glen Johnson.
Marca confirm that the deal for Manquillo is
a “matter of hours” now and is likely to be
announced by the two clubs today.
