Spanish giants Real Madrid are preparing a 15 million euros bid for Liverpool target Yann Mvila, Rennes' promising young defensive midfielder.
Mvila burst onto the scene at Rennes last season, displacing former Liverpool player Bruno Cheyrou from the side. Mvila has excellent physical strength and is renowned as an effective ball winner, who is then able to use the ball sensibly. His rapid rise has also been helped by a real maturity in his game.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson travelled to France to watch Mvila play last month. The 20-year-old starred for Laurent Blanc's France side which recently beat England 2-0 at Wembley.
According to Spanish daily AS, Real Madrid have already entered talks with Mvila's agent Ahmed Ouidy with Jose Mourinho keen to make use of the midfielder's strength in the centre of the pitch.
Real Madrid apparently hope to pre-empt any approach from other clubs, primarily an attempt to take Mvila to Anfield, especially given the strong French connections of Damien Comolli, Liverpool's new director of football strategy.
