Liverpool have been alerted to the possible availability of Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil, after the creative midfielder was warned by manager that his performances needed to significantly improve or else he would be sold.
The German international was one of the stars of the 2010 World Cup and was signed by Madrid for €15million from Werder Bremen. Ozil went on to make a total of 53 appearances last season, scoring 10 goals but this year his form has dipped.
Ozil is yet to fins the back of the net in the league and the midfielder took plenty of blame for his performance in the 3-1 defeat to rivals Barcelona last weekend.
The People believes that these inconsistent performances have led Mourinho to hand him a warning that he must improve or else risk being sold in the summer.
The news has certainly caught the attention of Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli who believes Ozil is the type of player that can further improve the Red's first team and can help fire the club back into the top four.
Liverpool know that they can offer the 23-year-old guaranteed first team football, something he does not always get at Madrid with a host of fellow midfielders, and manager Kenny Dalglish is keen to monitor his situation over the coming months.
It is believed that Madrid would want to make a profit on the midfielder and would demand in the region of £18million for the talented German.
