Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp plots summer raid on Real Madrid for Dani Carvajal - reports
LIVERPOOL are reportedly ready to prise Dani Carvajal away from Real Madrid.

Jurgen Klopp intends to make a splash in the summer transfer window and will have money to spend following the £142million sale of Philippe Coutinho in January.
The Liverpool boss has been urged to bring in a new goalkeeper as he still harbours doubts over Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.
Although the Anfield outfit lavished £75million on Virgil van Dijk, it is the right-hand side of defence that Klopp wants to improve.
And according to Spanish publication Don Balon, Klopp has been very “impressed” with Carvajal’s displays for Real.

Real Madrid haven't had a full-back as good as him for a long time
It is said however Carvajal will take some convincing to leave and he would come with a sizeable asking price due to his £310m release clause.
His contract at the Bernabeu currently runs until 2022.
Carvajal’s progress at Real has not gone unnoticed and Brazil legend Cafu was effusive in his praise last month.
Jurgen Klopp may have to be very persuasive to convince Dani Carvajal to leave
“He is very good, one of the best in the world after Daniel Alves," Cafu said.
“He's been playing well for many years, attacking with force and defending with the same determination.
"Real Madrid haven't had a full-back as good as him for a long time."
