Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin joined Real Madrid last summer but found that manager Jose Mourinho had already settled on the partnership between defensive-minded Sami Khedira and passing maestro Xabi Alonso for the central midfield berths.

The two featured prominently in Real's title-winning season with Mesut Ozil being utilised as a winger in key matches or as a playmaker against weaker sides.

Sahin will also have fierce competition from the likes of former Ballon d'Or winner Kaka, Esteban Granero and Lassana Diarra who will all be vying to impress the Portuguese manager.

According to a report in the Liverpool Echo, Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is said to be interested in securing the services of the Real midfielder on a season-long loan.

"The reality is the club probably lacked depth last year," Rodgers told the newspaper. "We need to make a few signings just to get back to those numbers. I believe we will do."
