According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid have received an enquiry from Liverpool in regards to their winger Royston Drenthe.
Earlier in the week a Facebook account purporting to be the 23-year-old Dutchman claimed he had signed for the Premier League side only for it to be exposed as a bogus account.
Although the report was later rubbished, Spanish daily AS claim Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has indeed made tentative enquiries for the ex-Holland Under-21 international and with Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho undecided about the winger’s future, a deal remains a distinct possibility.
Liverpool are believed to be looking for a left-sided fullback, as they endeavour to sell Emiliano Insua and following the departure of Fabio Aurelio.
Drenthe joined Real Madrid in 2007 on the back of his superb performances during the Under-21 European Championships, but his career in La Liga has stalled somewhat and reports in Spain suggest he may be line for a move to the Premier League.
