Liverpool are preparing to sell defender Alvaro Arbeola to Real Madrid.
The Daily Star says Reds boss Rafa Benitez will sacrifice current right-back Arbeloa if Real Madrid follow up their interest by making a bid in the region of £8 million for the defender who started his career at the Bernabeu.
Arbeloa's agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon - who also represents Benitez - held talks with Real officials yesterday.
