With Liverpool having already signed one player in this transfer window, manager Jurgen Klopp has now reportedly identified a Real Madrid star he would love to bring to the Reds.
Alves Reacts To Messi's Referee Rant
Despite being linked with a number of top European stars, Liverpool have, so far, only secured the services of 17-year-old Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg ahead of next season.
Although the Merseyside club won the UEFA Champions League and finished agonizingly close to Manchester City in the Premier League in the previous campaign, many feel the team could do with a new creative midfielder.

While Naby Keita came into his own towards the back-end of the 2018/19 season, his slow start to life at Liverpool and injury struggles have concerned supporters.
Klopp appears to be on the same wavelength as those fans, with Marca claiming the German manager is interested in signing Los Blancos talent Dani Ceballos, who does not appear to be in Zinedine Zidane's plans in Madrid.
The midfielder was a driving force in Spain's recent UEFA U21 European Championship triumph, during which he contributed to four goals in five matches.
Liverpool's boss is said to be a huge admirer of the 22-year-old, although the Reds could face stiff competition in the race for his signature, with the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan also reportedly vying for his services.

Ceballos is also a full international with Spain, but has been frustrated at his lack of game time for the 13-time Champions League winners.
