Rumour: Real Madrid planning to make a bid for Liverpool's Raheem Sterling

Sterling in action for England

Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling has attracted interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid, who could make a bid for him next summer according to the Mirror.

Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti is said to be a huge fan of the youngster and will keep a close eye on him throughout the year.

The 19-year-old was a real revelation for Liverpool this season and earned a place in the England squad for the World Cup where he performed brilliantly but ultimately could not prevent their elimination from the tournament.

Ancelotti is certain that Sterling will be a world class player soon and will be ready to make a bid for him when he does.

Sterling is the second Liverpool player after talisman Luis Suarez to be linked with a move to Real Madrid.
