Widespread reports this morning suggest Jose Mourinho will look to sign Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard when he takes over at Real Madrid this week.
After winning the treble with Inter Milan, Mourinho is expected to be appointed at the Bernabeu and is eager to bring Gerrard from Liverpool, who he tried to sign twice previously during his time at Chelsea.
The England midfielder has said he will only discuss his future after the World Cup but may be tempted to leave after a troubled season at Liverpool.
The future of Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, who has been tipped to take over from Mourinho at Inter Milan, could also have an impact on the transfer.
The 29-year-old scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 46 appearances for Liverpool in 2009/2010. He is contracted to the Merseyside giants until the end of season 2012/2013.
The Sun also link Mourinho with a move for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres but El Nino is unlikely to join Real Madrid due to his affiliation with Atletico Madrid.
