Liverpool shocked as Real Madrid swoops in late for £45m star

Liverpool are facing a Real Madrid-sized problem this summer. The Spanish giants have been a bugbear for the Reds over the last few years, and the two sides are set to clash off the pitch again in the upcoming transfer window for players they both want.

Real Madrid have successfully tapped up Trent Alexander-Arnold to convince him to leave his boyhood club for the glitz and glamour of the Santiago Bernabeu on a free transfer.

Liverpool are also facing the threat of losing Alexis Mac Allister to Real Madrid, who are prepared to offer a deal worth £76m to the Reds to take the Argentinian to the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid are again emerging as the biggest threat to Liverpool in their pursuit of a player who has been identified as the priority target for the Reds this summer.

Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?

Real Madrid to make late hijack attempt to sign Reds-linked Premier League star

Real Madrid are in the market for a left-back this summer, and the club are still assessing several options ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

However, according to TEAMTalk, Real Madrid are seriously considering getting their hands on Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez ahead of next season.

Kerkez is the priority target for Liverpool, and the club have been working on a deal to sign him for months. The left-back is also keen to move to Anfield and has been in contact with the club to reveal his desire to play for the Reds.

However, a final deal is not in place, and Bournemoth are keen to start an auction for his services as they want as much as £45m from his sale.

Kerkez wants to play at the highest level where he can compete for all the major trophies, and Real Madrid believe they can convince him to move to the Santiago Bernabeu over Anfield.
