Real Madrid are interested in Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino.

Foot Mercato says European champions Real Madrid are 'thinking about' bringing Liverpool star Firmino to the Spanish capital at the end of the season.

And it is claimed that a pre-contract offer could even arrive 'in the next few hours' for the Brazilian.

The 31-year-old is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the current campaign and having not yet signed a new deal, is now free to talk to other clubs.

The report says that there has not yet been any contact between the the two clubs, but "the leaders believe he is the best option to strengthen the attack".
