Real confident of landing Stevie G

Real Madrid are set to make Steven Gerrard their No.1 summer transfer target. Sources in Spain claim the La Liga giants are confident that a £50m deal is already 90% complete and will not depend on who takes over as new Liverpool boss. Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish, who has been tipped in some circles to take over the Anfield hot-seat, is believed to have contacted Gerrard in South Africa to try and convince him to stay on Merseyside. But with the Reds in a tight financial state, it is hard to see the club’s American owners rebuffing a mega-money offer from Real.
