Real Madrid star set to sign for Reds

Real Madrid star Ceballos was linked with Liverpool during the January transfer window.

However, the Spaniard ultimately stayed at the Bernabeu, where he has struggled for game time so far.

Ceballos joined Real Madrid from Real Betis in the summer but Spanish outlet Don Balon claim a move to Liverpool is now in the offing.

The Reds are expected to spend shrewdly this summer despite currently soaring under Jurgen Klopp.

And Liverpool are also likely to spend big with the Merseyside giants yet to replace Philippe Coutinho, who left for Barcelona in January.

Don Balon go into detail on Liverpool’s interest in the player.

It is said Klopp will ‘spare no expense’ as he aims to bring the player to the club.

Real president Florentino Perez will supposedly rubber-stamp a transfer at the end of the season.

But, in order to make sure he does not miss out on the player’s potential, he will include a buy-back clause.

Ceballos is now expected to be Liverpool’s first signing of the summer.

Yet Klopp is unlikely to stop there.

A goalkeeper is also on their radar with Roma shotstopper Alisson Becker their No 1 target.

And Liverpool have also been linked with the likes of Thomas Lemar and Paulo Dybala.
