Liverpool and Real Madrid appear to have similar shopping lists, as both sides target Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez.

It was MARCA in Spain who revealed that the Spanish giants are focused on signing the England international.

Elsewhere, O Jogo in Portugal claimed that Real Madrid also want to sign Fernandez, who is a target for Liverpool too.

It comes after Los Blancos beat Liverpool to the signing of Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco following the Champions League final, as revealed by the France international himself.

Now, Real Madrid are planning to frustrate Liverpool even more.

What’s the story?

Well, according to Sky Germany, Liverpool want to sign Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich.

Unsurprisingly, it has now been revealed by AS in Spain that Real Madrid also want the Germany international, carrying on the trend of Carlo Ancelotti sniffing around the same targets as Jürgen Klopp.

AS believe Real Madrid are now taking pole position to sign the 19-year-old from Bayern Munich, which will concern Liverpool.

Under Klopp, the Reds have strong pulling power, although they may struggle to convince targets to join right now as they find themselves sixth in the Premier League.

In stark contrast, Real Madrid are favourites to win the Champions League for a 15th time, and can offer Musiala a very good chance of winning silverware on a regular basis.

Liverpool must be sick of Real Madrid

Liverpool have worked so hard to return to the top under Klopp, so it must be very demoralising to see another giant in Real Madrid pip them to the Champions League – on two occasions in recent years – and gems like Tchouameni.

It will require huge investment to fend off a superclub such as Real Madrid, but with Fenway Sports Group (FSG) looking to sell Liverpool – according to The Athletic – there seems to be too much uncertainty for the Reds to compete with clubs of this stature right now.
