Liverpool open talks with Real Madrid – REPORTS

Dani Ceballos

Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Real Madrid regarding a possible deal for midfielder Dani Ceballos.

The 21-year-old only made the switch to the Bernabéu in the summer but despite having signed a 6-year deal, reports suggest that both the player and manager want to terminate his stay.

Arsenal, Tottenham, Inter Milan, Roma and ourselves have all been linked with Ceballos who has started just 2 La Liga games so far this season.

The latest reports in Spain go as far as to say that Liverpool and Arsenal have stepped up to check on his availability and that they have been met with open arms following suggestions that coach Zinedine Zidane never wanted to sign him in the first place.

Signed from Real Betis for £16million, it sounds like the Spain Under 21 international could leave Real Madrid in the not too distant future, although knowing his employers, they will probably send him out on an initial loan first.

Are Liverpool interested? Well, there’s been no credible reports closer to home suggesting such as yet. However, a quick look back through our archives shows that he has been linked with us at least once in the past.
