Real Madrid star Dani Ceballos will only join Liverpool if one transfer issue is resolved

Liverpool are again being tipped to rescue Ceballos from his Real Madrid nightmare come the end of the season.

The Spaniard moved to the Bernabeu from Real Betis back in the summer, snubbing a move to Barcelona along the way.

But that decision has backfired with Ceballos struggling for game time under Zinedine Zidane.

Liverpool have been tipped to snap the Real Madrid player up as a replacement for Emre Can.

But the Daily Mail say the Reds face a fight to lure Ceballos to Merseyside.

Real supposedly still rate the midfielder, who will press for a move away in the summer.

And they may let him go on loan, or demand a huge fee to let him go.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp supposedly feels he could compliment Naby Keita in the middle of the park.

Yet the Daily Mail say the Reds are unwilling to pay Real the transfer fee they crave.

Madrid are reluctant to let him go for cheap, meaning he may be allowed to go out on loan.

But whether or not Liverpool try to bring him to the Premier League remains to be seen.

Ceballos will not be short of offers if he chooses to leave Real on a permanent basis.

Roma would love to snap him up with sporting director Monchi a fan.

And AC Milan are another team who may try and lure him away from La Liga.
