Liverpool are reported to have joined the race to sign highly-rated Danish teenager Simon Kjaer.
The 18-year-old defender, currently with FC Midtyjlland, has been linked with Middlesbrough and a number of clubs across Europe.
Reds boss Rafael Benitez is now believed to have sent his scouts to Denmark and is said to have been impressed by their reports.
Kjaer's agent, former Middlesbrough striker Mikkel Beck, insists that the Denmark Under-19 international has the talent to be rated alongside some of the game's greats.
Beck told The Sunday Sun: "You realise how special this kid is when Liverpool watch him and tell you he's good enough to play in their first team.
"Messi, Rooney, Dos Santos - he is special like them.
"Lille and Monaco were the first to show an interest, then Real made a much better offer and it was turned down. He is worth a lot more."
