Liverpool open talks with ‘overlooked’ Real Madrid star – in what could be seismic summer deal: report

Liverpool have opened negotiations to sign a Real Madrid star who has been overlooked by his current employers. As with the signing of any Madrid player, this could have a huge effect on the squad at Anfield.

The Reds have yet to make a major signing in the Arne Slot era. Over the last two seasons, Jurgen Klopp has been responsible for reducing the average age of the stars, removing Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino to bring in younger faces in Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endu and Cody Gakpo .

Because of this team change, there’s no need for Slot to make wholesale changes — but one, nonetheless Los Blancos star could signal a major change in Liverpool’s squad ahead of next season.

Friday edition of the Spanish publication Sports via Sports witness says the Reds have begun talks with Real Madrid back-up goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. They add that these talks are “likely (through) his agent Jorge Mendes.”
