Real Madrid are ready to raid Liverpool for Steven Gerrard after the Reds managerial crisis. The Sunday Mirror says Real believe they can land Gerrard for £20 million in the summer with Liverpool facing another season without Champions League football.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho came close to signing the England star when he was at Chelsea only for Gerrard to perform a dramatic U-turn just hours after handing in a written transfer request.
But sources inside Real believe Gerrard, 29, is losing patience with the problems engulfing Anfield and that his career will reach a crossroads this summer.
Gerrard, who earns around £120,000 a-week, is under contract to Liverpool until 2013.
