Liverpool planning Real Madrid REVENGE mission
Liverpool are set for a shakeup in their attacking department next summer. Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa and Luis Diaz could all find themselves at the Anfield exit door as question marks persist over their fitness and consistency.
There is also an unsolved contract situation involving Mohamed Salah, whose successful spell at Liverpool could be at an end. The 32-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and no breakthrough has yet been reached over a new deal.

Fichajes reports Guler is now of interest to several European super clubs, who have taken notice of his current predicament. Liverpool are named as chief suitors for a player who one day could possess the talent to replace Salah on the right wing.
They wanted to sign him before he left Fenerbahce but the player was ultimately convinced by Madrid.
Also named are Manchester United, although their rank inconsistency and lack of Champions League football makes Old Trafford an unattractive destination.
Bayern Munich complete the trio of interested parties with the Bavarians tipped to complete a loan deal for Guler like they did in the past for Alvaro Odriozola and James Rodriguez.

The Spanish outlet claims Guler “seems willing” to consider a change of scenery after a stop-start two seasons at the Bernabeu. And it would mean sweet revenge for the Reds, who missed out on his signing in the first place.
Madrid of course are keen on landing Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer with his future at Anfield in doubt. This could be a deal to soften the blow of losing the homegrown legend.
