Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has been linked with a potential swap deal following reports of a clash between the midfielder and manager Xabi Alonso.
It has been a difficult start to the season for Bellingham, who missed the first few weeks of the championship while recovering from shoulder surgery.
Since returning to the pitch in September, he has started seven games, scoring three goals, but has struggled to recapture the form that made him one of the best players in Spain last season.
Bellingham joined Real Madrid for an initial fee of €88.5 million in the summer of 2023, spending his first two years under Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian coach deployed him mainly in a more advanced role, with Bellingham scoring 38 goals in his first two seasons in Spain.
After a strong start to the season, the Spanish giants have struggled in recent weeks, drawing their last three La Liga matches and losing first place to Barcelona.
Amid this decline in form, the Spanish media Sports world reported that there is tension between Alonso and Bellingham.
Despite Alonso's insistence that he is happy with Bellingham, Central defense reported that Liverpool have made an offer for the midfielder.
The Reds, who attempted to sign Bellingham in 2023 before he moved to Madrid, reportedly see this as an opportunity to bring the England international to Anfield.
The report also claims that Liverpool would be willing to offer World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister as part of a potential swap deal.
However, both Bellingham and Real Madrid are determined for the midfielder to stay in Spain.Telegraph/
