Former club Real Betis are interested in signing Liverpool reserve goalkeeper in the summer.
The Spanish goalkeeper came through the ranks at Betis, and made 32 appearances for them, before moving to the Premier League and West Ham in 2013. He went on to make 150 appearances for the Hammers, but lost his place as regular keeper when Lucasz Fabianski arrived at the club, and was released at the end of last season.
Without a club in the summer, he was signed by Liverpool on a free transfer and was almost immediately pressed into first team action when Alisson was injured during the first game of the Premier League season.
He then became an almost instant hero in their next match, saving the vital penalty in the shoot-out with Chelsea, which gave Liverpool their first silverware of the season, the European Super Cup. He has made 15 appearances for the title chasers so far this season, but, with Alisson now fit again, has been relegated to a back-up role once more.
