Sacked Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has an offer from England, according to his agent.

The Sunday Mirror says Pellegrini appears to have moved a step near becoming the next manager of Liverpool.

The former Real Madrid boss is in the frame to succeed Rafael Benitez at Anfield, although Fulham's Roy Hodgson is still believed to be the favourite.

But Pellegrini's lawyer claims his client has been approached by a Premier League club, but declined to say which one.

He said: "I cannot confirm or deny anything. All I can say is that there is an offer from England."
