Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant is keen to resurrect a move to Real Madrid.

A Madrid source told the Daily Mail: "Pennant interests our coach because he is quick and can provide crosses. He's the type we're looking for - and at the right price. If terms can be agreed, there's a chance a transfer may happen in January."

The deal appeared to have collapsed because Madrid insist on a non-negotiable salary of around £30,000 a week. But sources close to Pennant last night stressed he has not priced himself out of any transfer.

"Jermaine has not made outrageous demands," said a friend. "It is wrong to say this - he is a player with much to offer and is keen to see what's available."
