Ceballos is keen to leave the Bernabeu to play more regular football and there is rumoured to be plenty of interest from the Premier League, with Tottenham also monitoring his situation.
The 22-year-old’s recent form has been impressive in the European U21 Championships and has prompted Liverpool to step up their pursuit.
One report in Spain suggests Real Madrid would be happy to sell Ceballos for around £50m but would insist on a buy-back clause of around £70m just in case he should fulfil his potential.
According to Muchodeportivo, Liverpool also have their eye on Real Betis defender and Barcelona target Junior Firpo.
Firpo was also part of that victorious Spain side this summer and is said to be available for around £25m. Liverpool are considering offering a swap deal with Champions League hero Divock Origi thrown into the bargain.
Meanwhile the club have moved closer to buying Lille’s Nicolas Pepe after the president admitted he has begun talks with the Anfield club, adding that another side is also interested in attracting the forward.
And the former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson has said Dani Alves would be the ideal signing for Liverpool. Alves is currently a free agent after leaving PSG.
“I feel maybe could fit in well at Liverpool and Klopp would like him as a style of player,” said Kleberson. “He’s very technical, fast and has an incredible temperament in the big games. He’s a winner.”
