Euro Paper Talk: Real duo keen on Liverpool; United eye Barca keeper
Liverpool have been boosted in their efforts to land two stars from Real Madrid, while Manchester United have made a shock approach for a LaLiga keeper should David De Gea depart, according to Wednesday’s European papers.
LIVERPOOL GIVE NEW KEEPER HOPE
Real Madrid star Keylor Navas is so disgruntled by the club’s ongoing quest to replace him that he has already told teammate Cristiano Ronaldo he wants out this summer.
That’s according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, who suggest the Costa Rican has also told Ronaldo he wants to make Liverpool his next club.
Jurgen Klopp is on the lookout for a new goalkeeper this summer, with the Reds strongly linked with Roma custodian Alisson Becker.
But the Serie A giants will fight hard to keep the Brazilian, who is also being tracked by PSG and tipped to command a world-record fee for a goalkeeper this summer.
However, the Reds could have more success with Navas, who looks set to depart the Bernabeu this summer and could be allowed to move to Anfield for around £30million.
And with Navas reportedly telling Ronaldo he wants to try his luck at Anfield, a swoop for the Reds could tick plenty of boxes.
The report adds that Navas isn’t the only Real Madrid star making a move to Liverpool their top focus this summer; midfield star Dani Ceballos, who has made just two starts in LaLiga this summer, has also told the club he wants to be allowed to move to Anfield.
And it’s claimed Liverpool will try and tempt Real by offering a combined £60million (€68million) for the duo.
