Liverpool are the Premier League champions, and they are keen to use that clout to land a few top talents in the summer. FSG are prepared to back Arne Slot with a major transfer budget, but Real Madrid are still set to come up trumps in the race for the hottest young talent in world football.
Real Madrid have been a bone in Liverpool’s throat over the last few years. Their naked, but successful, tapping up of Trent Alexander-Arnold has not won them any friends on Merseyside.
The Spanish giants are also now trying to snare Alexis Mac Allister away from the Merseyside giants in the summer transfer window for a deal worth £76m.
Liverpool are now set to suffer more pain from Real Madrid as one of the hottest young talents, who is wanted at Anfield, is pushing for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Reds are set to lose out on signing a teenage wonderkid to Real Madrid
Franco Mastantuono will turn 18 this summer, when he will become eligible for a move to the Premier League, and Liverpool are trying hard to convince him to move to Anfield.
Chelsea are also determined to sign the attacking midfielder, and even Manchester United are prepared to pay the release clause to take him to Old Trafford.
However, according to Argentinian broadcaster Tyc Sports, Real Madrid are the frontrunners to sign the River Plate teenager in the summer transfer window.
Despite tremendous attempts from Liverpool and his Premier League suitors, Mastantuono has his heart set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
His other European suitors have been told that the midfielder is in no hurry to make a decision and will wait for Real Madrid to make their offer.
Liverpool are pushing hard to change the teenager’s mind, but it seems the lure of Real Madrid will end up winning this race as well.
