Barcelona 'considering move for Loren Moron'

Real Betis forward Loren Moron has reportedly emerged as a target for Barcelona as the Spanish champions look to ease their problems in the final third of the field.

Ousmane Dembele is expected to miss the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign with a hamstring injury, and La Liga clubs are able to sign players outside of the transfer window if they suffer a long-term injury - five months or more - during the season.

Getafe's Angel and Girona's Cristhian Stuani have both been linked with moves to Camp Nou, but according to Marca, Betis forward Moron is also under consideration.

Barca would allegedly be able to sign the Spaniard for around half of his €60m (£51m) release clause, although he would represent a more expensive option than both Angel and Stuani.

The 26-year-old has been in impressive form for Betis during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 10 times in 24 appearances in all competitions.

As well as Dembele, Quique Setien's side also face being without key centre-forward Luis Suarez for the remainder of the season following a knee operation.
