Liverpool to swoop for Real Madrid forward?

Liverpool have identified Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic as a potential January target, according to Fichajes.

The Merseyside giants will be without Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in January due to African Cup of Nations duty.

They have Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi to fill the void, but reports claim that they may look for added firepower.

The club could look to pursue a new marksman on a temporary basis, and it is reported that Jovic is an option for them.

The Serbian has struggled for playing time during his time at Madrid, and has yet to start a game for them this season.

Jovic is likely to push for a move elsewhere in the near future, considering Los Blancos' plans to bring in Kylian Mbappe.

He has been linked with a possible Premier League move with West Ham United and Newcastle United also credited with an interest.

It remains to be seen whether the Reds can convince Madrid with a loan proposal when the transfer window reopens.
