Liverpool are expected to strengthen their squad at the end of the season in a bid to try and close the gap on Manchester City.
The Reds sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £142million in January but failed to replace him in the winter window.
So Klopp is expected to have a war-chest to play with in the summer and he has now identified the man he wants.
According to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, the German has highlighted Real Madrid ace Dani Ceballos as his new midfield maestro.

However, the Merseyside outfit could face a battle with Roma for the 21-year-old’s signature.
Real beat off the challenge from Barcelona to sign the former Real Betis man for £15m last year.
But he has failed to make the grade at the Bernabeu and will be allowed to leave the club come June, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Liverpool are expected to lose Emre Can as his contract expires in a couple of months.

Italian giants Juventus are expected to offer the 25-year-old a move to Serie A.
Meanwhile, the Reds will also have RB Leipzig star Naby Keita with the squad next season after they agreed a deal 12 months ago.
But Klopp still wants another midfielder to try and challenge for the Premier League title in 2019.
