Real Madrid 'join Liverpool in the race to sign Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips... with Carlo Ancelotti "obsessed" with England midfielder and views him as ideal substitute for Casemiro'

Real Madrid will reportedly battle Liverpool to sign Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips in the summer.

The 26-year-old has been a standout player in Marcelo Bielsa's side for a number of seasons now and reportedly wants to play Champions League football.

That has reportedly put Liverpool - who are said to be preparing a £33.4million bid - as well as Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, on alert for a potential move for the England international.

However, Catalan publication El Nacional now claim Real Madrid have thrown their hat in the ring, with Leeds reportedly more willing to let the midfielder move abroad than see him join a fellow Premier League side.
