Liverpool's next summer signing could be yet another star from La Liga, if reports in Spain are to be believed. Marca revealed at the weekend that the Reds are interested in Real Madrid's Jose Callejon. talkSPORT's Transfer Spotlight has more on the Spaniard... Name: Jose Maria Callejon Bueno Date of birth: 11 February, 1987 Position: Forward Club: Real Madrid International appearances: 4 (Spain U21) Honours: La Liga (2011/12), Spanish Supercopa (2012) Callejon was a favourite of Jose Mourinho at the Bernabeu and has enjoyed a comfortable two seasons with Madrid after being bought back from Espanyol. With the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, however, his time looks up, as the Italian is interested in promoting both Alvaro Morata and Jese Rodriguez permanently from the Madrid youth team, both of whom can play in his position. Liverpool are said to be competing in a three-horse race with Fiorentina and Napoli for his signature. Did you know? 1) Born in Granada, Andalucia, Callejon joined Real Madrid's academy in 2002 at the age of 15. He made his debut for Madrid's reserve team, Real Madrid Castilla, in the 2006/07 season while they were playing in the Spanish second division. 2) The reserves were relegated at the end of the season and Callejon made a major mark on the third division in the season that followed, scoring 21 goals in 37 games and finished the campaign as the top scorer in Castilla's regional group. 3) Madrid sold the forward to Espanyol in 2008 and he made his first division debut in September of that year against Getafe. His first goal came in a 3-3 draw with Mallorca that season, and under Mauricio Pochettino he made over 100 appearances for the Catalans, scoring 11 goals. 4) Callejon's impressive displays with Espanyol led to Real Madrid re-signing him in 2011, and he quickly impressed Jose Mourinho by scoring four goals in pre-season. He established himself as one of Mourinho's favourite players during the course of the following season, scoring doubles against Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, and finishing the season with 36 appearances, 13 goals and two assists in all competitions. In May, Callejon lifted his first piece of major silverware, the La Liga title. 5) Last season Callejon continued to be a regular for Madrid, though his goals tended to come against lesser opposition. Notably, he again scored a brace against Ajax in the Champions League, his second against the Dutch club in two seasons.He says"Manuel Garcia Quilon, Callejon's agent, already knows that Madrid don't consider him part of their plans, and he has spent some time looking for the best transfer possible. Everything suggests he will leave La Liga." Source: talkSPORT This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
