Lassana Diarra is unsettled at Real
Madrid and seeking a return to England.
The People says the France international midfielder has
told friends in English football he is unsure of his future at Real
- despite being a regular first-teamer at the Bernabeu.
Liverpool, missing the
influence of Xabi Alonso since he joined Real
Madrid, and fearing the loss of Javier Mascherano,
are certain to renew their interest.
Manchester City agreed a
£20million fee to sign Diarra from Portsmouth last January, only to be pipped by
Real. Now pint-sized Diarra, 24, could join his fifth club in three
and a half years if he quits Real after just a year in Spain.
