Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has turned his attention to Real Madrid's Denis Cheryshev as he looks to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window.
Italian website Tutto Mercato Web (h/t Tom Olver of Metro) said the Russian winger, who spent the past two seasons out on loan, is ready to break away from Los Blancos in the hope of finding a more stable environment.
Olver said Rodgers is a "big fan" of the Madrid youth product, with the 24-year-old purpose built to provide assists for Daniel Sturridge should he opt to move to Anfield.
