Barcelona decide against Loren Moron move?

Barcelona reportedly opt against making an official approach for Real Betis striker Loren Moron before the end of January.

With Luis Suarez sidelined until May with a knee injury, the Catalan giants are becoming increasingly desperate in their search for a short-term replacement.

Having seemingly missed out on Valencia's Rodrigo Moreno, Moron has been linked with a switch to Camp Nou after previously working with head coach Quique Setien.

However, ESPN journalist Moises Llorens claims that the two clubs have made little progress in talks over a potential deal.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed an excellent campaign with Betis, contributing eight goals and two assists from his 20 outings in La Liga.
