  /  autty

Jurgen Klopp is ready to make a move for the 'next Xabi Alonso at Liverpool', according to reports from Spain.

One man who has been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer is Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.

Klopp is believed to be interested in signing the Real Betis graduate.

But according to Marca, via SportWitness, who have claimed the Spaniard can become the 'next Xabi Alonso' at Anfield, there is a problem that could derail the deal.

The paper reports that Klopp is only interested in the transfer if the Reds can buy the midfielder outright.

The German doesn't want a buy-back clause included in the deal. Real Madrid however do as they feel Ceballos could one day lead their midfield.

What's more, Ceballos reportedly shares this view and would only agree to a Liverpool transfer is such a clause was put in place.
