Liverpool reportedly eyeing up move for Real Madrid’s Champions League hero

Tom Victor

He might have scored one of the goals of the week in the Champions League, but Jese looks likely to leave Real Madrid this summer.

And the homegrown talent is on the radar of a couple of Premier League clubs, with Liverpool and Manchester City both keen on the forward.

The 22-year-old, who has been with Madrid since the age of 14, came off the bench to score a stunning solo effort in the win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

And now the Sunday Mirror report that Liverpool will renew their interest in the youngster, who was linked with a move to Anfield in January.

But they will face competition, with Pep Guardiola thought to be keen to bring the Spain Under-21 international over to Manchester City.

Madrid are understood to want in excess of £20m for the player, who has turned out 75 times for Los Merengues since making his debut in 2011.
