Liverpool are eyeing Valencia winger Pablo Hernandez according to Madrid-based daily Marca.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has kept his powder dry in the current transfer window, despite admitting that he has money to spend if he so chooses.
But his side's recent poor performances are thought to have given the Scot pause for thought.

El Barcelona volvió a recoger hoy los mayores elogios tras su triunfo en el clásico de Copa ante el Real Madrid: la prensa española califica al equipo azulgrana como "amo" o "equipo inimitable". El conjunto azulgrana ganó el miércoles por 2-1 en el estadio Santiago Bernabéu, situándose muy cerca de las semifinales de Copa y a punto de derribar al vigente campeón y gran rival.

Real Madrid will allow Esteban Granero to leave the Santiago Bernabeu on loan this month, with the midfielder a reported target for Liverpool.
The 25-year-old has made only five appearances for Real this season and is desperate for more regular first-team action.
According to SER Deportivos, Los Blancos are now offering Granero to potential suitors, with a view to a loan agreement for the remainder of the season.

It's not everyday that you get to see Lionel Messi crying but Barcelona's official photographer Miguel Ruiz managed to capture this image of the Argentinean maestro during a private moment in the dressing room. This was snapped after Barcelona's defeat to Real Madrid in the 2011 Copa del Ray final, where some ugly scenes took place on the pitch.

Liverpool target Esteban Granero is available for transfer this month and can be bought for around £8million according to talkSPORT.
The 24-year-old Spanish midfielder has been told he is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu by Los Blancos boss Jose Mourinho, but is unwilling to let the former Getafe man leave the club on loan.

Real Madrid's Pipita Higuain is quite a likable hombre, isn't he? Come on now, Blaugranas... Madrid needs their own Moc Moc trio and we're pretty sure these two can improve the animosity between Brasil and Argentina!

Anyway, we just had to share Los Blancos' Christmas video with you even though you're clearly overstuffed with all that roast turkey by now.

The 'Anti-Gouge Mourinho 3000′ blew a fuse part-way through the second half

Barcelona made an inauspicious start to the first league 'El Clasico' match of the season, conceding the fastest goal in the history of the fixture when Karim Benzema capitalised on Victor Valdes' immense cock-up after just 23 seconds, but fought back to take the honours at the Bernabeu, end Real Madrid's 15-match unbeaten streak and replace Los Blancos at the summit of La Liga courtesy of goals from Alexis Sanchez, Xavi and Cesc Fabregas his tenth goal in 11 starts for Barca.

Karim Benzema's record making goal was not enough to keep Madrid's impressive home record intact as Los Blancos suffered a 3-1 home defeat to arch rivals Barcelona last night.

The win saw the Catalans pip Madrid into first place although both clubs remain level on 37 points.

REAL MADRID
• Real Madrid, líder de la Liga BBVA, ha ganado los últimos 15 partidos consecutivos en todas las competencias en las que ha participado, igualando su récord histórico de 41 años.
• El Madrid no ha perdido puntos en más de dos meses y medio: su último tropiezo fue un empate en cero frente al Racing Santander el 21 de Septiembre de este mismo año.

Real Madrid and Barcelona prepare to face off tomorrow in the much awaited clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. The match will offer hosts Madrid the chance to extend their lead over Barcelona should they win and keep them level on points with the Catalans in case they lose.

A loss however is not on the mind of Jose Mourinho who is looking to extend Madrid's 9 game home winning streak.

Real Madrid recorded a fine 4-1 win over neighbours Atletico Madrid as they continue their La Liga title push. Elsewhere Barcelona lost 1-0 at Getafe. This year's Madrid derby produced an early shock when Adrian shot Atletico ahead as early as the 15th minute. However Los Blancos rallied back and earned a penalty when Atletico [.

The day after the Sporting KC season ended, Robb Heineman posted on Twitter that the team was making an offer on a Spanish designated player. Since then, people have been speculating who it is that KC is trying to sign. It especially picked up after Heineman posted yesterday that a deal was done and would be announced in January.

Real Madrid are in the last stages of discussions to bring highly rated Santos star Neymar to the Santiago Bernabeu for an estimated €60 million. Representatives from the Spanish giants will begin finalizing a deal which will see the 19-year-old swap the white of Santos for the famous Los Blancos strip as early as January [.

Unfortunately, Halloween hasn't come one week early and that's really Real Madrid's Kaka and Raphael Verane channeling their "If I Were Ayrton Senna, this would be my Victory Walk, braah!" look.

Los Blancos received their complimentary Audi cars (you know they'd rather get a Porsche, or in Xabi Alonso's case, a truck) at a commercial event yesterday.

Jan Vertonghen juega en el Ajax que se mide a los blancos en Champions. Es joven, rápido y es el único que ha sido capaz de eclipsar el fútbol de toque de Xavi. El belga completó 117 pases en su último encuentro de Liga de Campeones, sólo por detrás del cerebro culé. Madrid y Barça le pretenden.

En los 102 partidos oficiales anteriores a la llegada de José Mourinho, el Real Madrid vio 17 tarjetas rojas, las mismas que en 66 partidos con el míster portugués. La última de ellas, la de Ángel Di María por doble cartulina amarilla en el partido liguero ante el Rayo Vallecano.
Es un hecho.

La palabra "preocupante" se ha repetido varias veces en el Real Madrid tras los dos últimos tropiezos. Realmente, ¿por qué están preocupados los blancos? Estas son las razones por las que José Mourinho y el propio Casillas han alertado al madridismo.
Los rivales saben cerrarse.

Cada partido un poco peor. El Real Madrid que tan bien apuntaba durante la pretemporada y la Supercopa de España ha entrado en depresión y frente al Racing de Santander sumó su segundo tropiezo consecutivo tras no poder pasar del empate sin goles (0-0).
Cada nuevo encuentro parece dar un paso hacia atrás.

Aah, yes, we know many from the football fraternity who had their arms high up in the air at the sight of those fiery Red Real Madrid kits last night. But perhaps the best quote from yesterday's 1-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb came from Ronaldo's mouth. He had been the subject of some abuse from the Zagreb spectators, which he was probably quizzed about after the game.

"Horacio, Zidane le ha pegado un terrible cabezazo en el pecho a Materazzi... Cuando lo veas no lo vas a poder entender". La voz del español Luis Medina Cantalejo irrumpió en el intercomunicador del oído del árbitro argentino Horacio Elizondo.

Everton have announced the loan signing of Real Madrid winger Royston Drenthe. The 24 year old Dutchman joins the club on a season long loan from Los Blancos, and is expected to immediately slot into David Moyes' side.

Drenthe impressed during his time at Feyenoord, operating as a skillful and quick left back, and promptly earned a €14 million move to Real Madrid.

Las permanentes y renovadas arremetidas contra Diego Maradona en su lucha incondicional por postularse como el mejor de todos los tiempos hacen de Pelé uno de los "blancos" más asiduos a las críticas (y no sólo críticas) del futbolero argentino.

Por si no tenía bastantes frentes abiertos Mourinho esta temporada, ahora puede abrir uno nuevo. El luso lleva desde que fichó por el Madrid empeñado en demostrar que el calendario y quienes fijan los horarios de los partidos tienen algo en contra de su club y ahora el destino se la vuele a jugar.

Real Madrid defensive midfielder, Lassana Diarra, squashed the latest rumors linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspurs, claiming that the rumors were completely false as he has no intention of leaving Madrid.

The former Chelsea player doesn't seem keen in joining Spurs either by stating that there has never been any agreement with the London club nor there will ever be in the future, indicating the player's low interest.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has told the club's official website that he has no plans to quit the club, and is certain that Los Blancos are playing their best football in recent history.

Rumors have swirled around the media following a bust-up between Mourinho and some of Barcelona's backroom staff after last week's Spanish Super Cup clash, but the Special One is ready for a season-long battle.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are featured prominently in the new FIFA 12 trailer to promote the video game, which will be released in North America on September 27 and in Europe on September 30.

After watching the above video, you might be surprised by whether Los Blancos or Blaugrana score, so watch the above video to find out the answer.

In a very entertaining first leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday night, Barcelona striker David Villa scored a simply sensational goal (see above video) in the game which ended 2-2.

With Real Madrid controlling the majority of the possession in the first half and Barcelona unable to play their trademark ticky-tacky brand of football, it seemed that Los Blancos were going to win this game.

Santos striker Neymar last night denied to reporters that a move to Real Madrid is imminent. The 19 year old is one of the most sought after youngsters in world football, but after Brazil's match against Germany last night he told reporters that he will remain in Brazil.

"No, no, I'm still a Santos player," he said when asked about a move to Real Madrid.

Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro has again insisted that teenage forward Neymar will not be leaving the club for Real Madrid and claims he has formally rejected an offer from Los Blancos.

If we've learned anything from our years of covering 'ballers in pre-season training, is that they usually provide the randomly sexually suggestive activities for our viewing pleasure. While training in Los Angeles, the staff of Real Madrid have ever so nicely fulfilled one of our requests* to have the lads strip down and hosed off, cleverly disguising their rouse as water polo.

Real Madrid have completed the signing of Fabio Coentrao from Benfica for a reported €30million.

Coentrao put pen-to-paper in a six-year deal and will hook up with his new Madrid team-mates for their pre-season tour of the United States.

A statement on the official Real Madrid website read: "Real Madrid C.

Era 31 de mayo de 2010. José Mourinho, acompañado de Jorge Valdano, entraba en la sala de prensa del Santiago Bernabéu para ser presentado como nuevo entrenador del Real Madrid. Florentino Pérez depositaba en él la confianza de liderar un proyecto a cuatro años con el claro objetivo de devolver al club blanco la gloria perdida en los últimos tiempos.

"You can't win, Florentino. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

Don't rumble with Jose Mourinho, you won't win...ever.

Sadly (or 'thankfully', depending on your particular bias), this is a life lesson that former Real Madrid director Jorge Valdano has had to learn the hard way.

Todo el mundo está pendiente del récord goleador que puede dejar establecido Cristiano Ronaldo. El mundo estará mirando con todos sus ojos al portugués para ver si consigue llegar a los 40 goles en el campeonato. Pero la intrahistoria de este enfrentamiento contra el Almería ocurrió el 6 de diciembre de 2009.

El Manchester City está dispuesto a volverse loco por Cristiano Ronaldo. Hace dos veranos el Real Madrid pagaba 96 millones al Manchester United por el portugués en lo que fue la contratación más cara de la historia del fútbol.
Pero eso no parece ser dinero para el dueño de los ‘citizens', el jeque El Sheik Mansour, que está dispuesto a doblar esa cantidad y ofrecer a los blancos la desorbitada cifra de 180 millones de euros.

El Real Madrid busca delantero. Tal y como contó Sólo Fútbol Tv, los blancos ya han entablado contactos con el Kun Agüero. No es el único delantero rojiblanco que interesa en Chamartín. Diego Forlán sigue interesando como posible refuerzo a la entidad que dirige Florentino Pérez.

Primero fue Gerard Piqué sobre el propio césped del Camo Nou, después varios jugadores del equipo en una campaña publicitaria en los autobuses de Barcelona y ahora Andrés Iniesta y Víctor Valdés son los que han sacado a pasear la ‘manita', sin duda, uno de los gestos por los que será recordada esta temporada.

El Real Madrid ya ha celebrado un título esta temporada. Fue en la madrugada del 20 al 21 de abril cuando ganaron la Copa del Rey frente al Barcelona. A pie de campo en Mestalla, horas más tarde en Cibeles, pasillo en Mestalla en la siguiente jornada de Liga y Copa ofrecida a la afición del Bernabéu en la ida de semifinales de la Copa del Rey contra el Barcelona.

Los blancos ya están pensando en la próxima temporada y han reforzado su centro del campo. El objetivo era conseguir un medio que acompañase a Xabi Alonso y los merengues ya lo tienen: Nuri Sahin. Su llegada puede provocar la salida de varios jugadores españoles.
Aún no ha terminado la liga, pero el Madrid ya empieza a pensar en el nuevo proyecto de Mou y el primero en subirse al barco será el jugador del Borussia y actual campeón de la Bundesliga, Nuri Sahin.
