Real Madrid are considering a £22m offer from Liverpool for winger Denis Cheryshev, writes Neil Moxley for the Sunday People.
Rafael Benitez has received a bid from the Reds for the Russian flier and will discuss the matter with his bosses at the Bernebeu.
Cheryshev, 24, is surplus amid the glut of stars that Benitez is now working with - and it is likely that he will cash in.
The Russian international spent last season on loan at Villarreal and the Spanish club are keen to take him back again.
However, Los Blancos would prefer a straight cash deal as Rodgers buys his insurance prior to any potential movement involving Raheem Sterling.
That could free up Jordan Ibe for another loan move - the winger agreed a new five-year deal this summer but will find himself surplus if Cheryshev’s deal gets the green light.
