Liverpool are pushing for a deal to try sign Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos, according to Diario Gol.

The Spanish news outlet claims that the Merseyside club want to land the 21-year-old from the European giants, who recently booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It is understood that Ceballos is convinced he is moving to England at the end of the season to join a Premier League club after struggling for minutes at the Bernabeu.

The report details that Liverpool attempted to secure a deal for him in the January window, but are still chasing him.

Madrid president Florentino Perez will play a big role in sanction any potential exit and for now it seems like they want to keep him in Spain, despite him mainly being used as a substitute.

Good move for Liverpool?

Ceballos is a technically gifted young midfielder at Madrid and is understandably struggling for minutes in a world-class midfield.

The Spaniard could well be a success in the future and is a ball-playing midfielder that is comfortable in both attacking and defending.

He is clearly keen on a move to England to continue his development and Jurgen Klopp’s side should take a punt on him, especially if they lose Emre Can in the summer given the uncertainty around his future.

Likely to happen?

Madrid are surely keen to keep one of their emerging talents at the club, but the pressure coming from the player and from Liverpool could well force a deal in the end.

There is still a long way until the summer window and for now it’s too early to say.
