Real Madrid will evaluate the long-term futures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos before committing to a move for Jude Bellingham, who has been urged to reject a switch to Liverpool.
Liverpool have been credited with an interest in Bellingham on a number of occasions in the past, with Jurgen Klopp thought to be a big fan. Meanwhile, rivals Manchester City and Manchester United are also admirers, but it is Madrid who have emerged as frontrunners for his signature.
Bellingham's starring role in the recent World Cup for England led to the Reds stepping up their interest in signing the midfielder, whose transfer valuation continues to increase.
