Liverpool could face competition from Real Madrid for Germany midfielder Julian Brandt.

The Spanish side sent scouts to watch the 20-year-old play for Bayer Leverkusen against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

The German youngster played well in front of Madrid's man, but couldn't prevent his side succumbing to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of their city rivals.

Brandt was impressive on the ball, running at the Atletico defence, although the German side were left exposed at the back and could well have conceded more.

Brandt is on a shortlist of potential targets for Liverpool alongside the likes of Leicester City's Demarai Gray.
