Liverpool are showing an interest in signing a Real Madrid star who Jose Mourinho is willing to offload this summer.
The Reds have confirmed just one new addition in the summer transfer window so far, bringing in Victor Munoz to improve their winger options.
Liverpool will likely be in the market for further additions, considering they only just scraped Champions League football last season.
The board will have to back new manager Andoni Iraola if they want him to be able to fully implement his style of play next campaign.
The Merseyside club have been linked to a host of new additions this summer, but it's unclear what their priority position to strengthen is going to be.
Liverpool are likely to sign another winger with Mohamed Salah departing, but they could also need reinforcements in other areas.

According to a report from Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga in the summer transfer window.
The report claims that Mourinho is willing to sanction a departure for the French international as he is not a key part of their plans.
As it stands, Camavinga is uninterested in leaving Real Madrid this summer, but it'll be interesting to see if that changes if he's limited to a bench role with the Spanish giants.
Camavinga, who has been described as one of the best in the world, is too good to be sitting on the bench, even if it is for a club the size of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga
There is no doubt that if Liverpool can secure the signature of Camavinga in the summer transfer window, he would walk into their midfield.
The French midfielder is one of the best in the world, and after some of the displays by Liverpool's current midfielders last season, he will undoubtedly become a guaranteed starter.
Convincing Camavinga to leave Real Madrid seems to be the biggest issue, as the La Liga club are willing to offload him.
The Reds will be able to offer Champions League football to Camavinga, but we are yet to see whether Iraola can get a tune out of this Liverpool squad.
