Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has identified the replacement to Philippe Coutinho in the form of Real Madrid’s Dani Ceballos – according to reports.
Philippe Coutinho is more or less certain to join Barcelona and reports are claiming that the Brazilian has already played his last game for the Anfield outfit. Liverpool are expected to pocket a fee of around €150 million from the sale of Philippe Coutinho and Jurgen Klopp seems to have already marked out the Brazilian’s replacement.
According to Diario Goal, Liverpool are eyeing a move for Real Madrid’s Dani Ceballos. The midfielder joined the Los Blancos during the month of July 2017 from Real Betis for a fee of €18 million. But the midfielder has been unable to win the trust of manager Zinedine Zidane – making just 13 appearances during the current season.
And as per the report, Ceballos has had a meeting with Florentino Perez vis his agent and has conveyed that he is fed up with proving himself to the Real Madrid manager. He has also told Perez that he wants to move out of the club during the January transfer window.
Ceballos was wanted by Barcelona during the summer but he chose to move to Madrid. But now that the choice has gone horribly wrong, Liverpool seems to be his next destination.
