The
Portuguese defender looks set to leave Los Blancos after a difficult
season in which he has only made seven La Liga appearances.
Coentrao
came close to joining Manchester United on loan last year, yet the deal
fell through, but he is rumoured to be more than willing to make a
switch to the Premier League this time around.
Liverpool have now
emerged as prime candidates for his signature, with the Merseysiders
understood to have been in contact with his agent, Jorge Mendes.
The Reds are said to have discussed a potential deal, and plans for a bid are at an advanced stage.
City are also keen, but it is unclear as to whether or not the 26-year-old is a top target.
Real
are set to demand around £11.5m for their man, which is a figure
Brendan Rodgers may be willing to stretch to in a bid to solve his
current left-back problems.
Tottenham could also revive their interest after baulking at his £15m valuation in 2013.
