Liverpool chiefs are convinced they can bring Real Madrid star James Rodriguez to Anfield.
The Sunday Mirror says they believe their bid to sign James is back on – if they make the Champions League.
The Reds have been chasing the Colombian attacking midfielder for some time but have been consistently knocked back. Suddenly, though, the situation in Spain has changed.
The 25-year-old appears to have fallen out of favour with coach Zinedine Zidane and is now actively looking for a move amid reports he has been offered to Chelsea as part of a move to sign Eden Hazard.
That deal is highly unlikely as Chelsea have no interest in selling. But the news has reignited Liverpool's desire to swoop for a player who was one of the stars of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
