Liverpool Want Real Madrid Starlet In Part Exchange For Suarez

Liverpool will demand coveted Real Madrid front man Alvaro Morata in part exchange for unsettled attacker Luis Suarez this summer, according to reports in the Daily Mirror.

The controversial Uruguay international is expected to leave Anfield for the Spanish giants in a deal worth a reported £40 million when the transfer window reopens for business on July 1.

However, Reds head coach Brendan Rodgers is said to be determined to bring in a top-level attacker from the Santiago Bernabeu in return, with the Northern Irishman understood to have already identified the Spain Under-21 international as his number-one choice.

The 20-year-old finished the recent European U21 Championship in Israel as the tournament’s top scorer with four goals as his nation retained their title following a convincing 4-2 win over Israel in Jerusalem on Tuesday night.

And with the forward having made only 18 appearances in all competitions for los Blancos since making his Madrid first-team debut in the 2010-11 campaign, Rodgers is believed to be confident of being able to persuade the player to swap Madrid for Liverpool this summer.
