Real Madrid will encourage Liverpool to bid for Rafael van der Vaart.
Incoming Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is planning a move for Real's Dutch playmaker Van der Vaart.
The Daily Mail says new Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho would not stand in Van der Vaart's way, as he bids to make his mark at the Bernabeu.
Indeed, it's understood Real have already circulated Van der Vaart's name around the Premiership for a price of £10 million.
