Rafael Benitez is considering a move for Rafael van der Vaart after the Dutchman hinted that he is becoming more and more frustrated at Real Madrid.
The Liverpool manager is keen to add to his attacking options and the former Hamburg star could be made available at a knock-down price in January by Los Merengues, according to The Mirror.
Van der Vaart stated recently that he would not want to go back to his first club, Ajax, but he knew of several major teams interested in his services.
Since joining Madrid in 2008, the Netherlands international has struggled to impress and could view a move to Anfield as a great chance to revitalise his career.
Benitez could make a bid to loan Van der Vaart in the winter transfer window. He could then make the deal permanent in the summer.
Seen as a creative midfielder or as a possibility to play the supporting role behind Fernando Torres, Van der Vaart would add an extra dimension to the Reds' options.
Madrid was willing to sell the 26-year-old at the end of last season, but he was kept on after Manuel Pellegrini saw Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben leave the club.
