Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to respond to speculation that Liverpool have their eye on a central midfielder hailed in Spain as the “new Xavi”.

Sergi Roberto, 21, has reportedly got a €20million release clause in his contract with Barcelona and is struggling to find a way into the first team under Gerardo Martino this season.
A report from talkSPORT suggests Brendan Rodgers may try to take the youngster on loan for the rest of the season come January.
Roberto has made 6 La Liga appearances for the Catalan giants, whilst he has played 106 times for Barcelona’s B team.
Here’s a few reactions from Reds fans when they heard Roberto was linked with a move to Anfield this week. As you can see, there’s a fair amount of doubt and cynicism amongst Reds voices!

Liverpool should look into players from top clubs that are struggling for game time. Eg. Shaqiri, sergi roberto, casemiero. #LFC

Can't believe that either Spurs, or #LFC would be stupid enough to actually want Sergi Roberto. Not what either team needs. Agent talk, IMO.

I wouldn't take the whole Sergi Roberto to LFC rumour seriously. Think he'll eventually be used more frequently at Barcelona next year.

Swear if we sign that Sergi Roberto from barca what a signing that would be. And I always means bye bye con man Henderson. #lfc #doublegood
