Liverpool could be Ruud Van Nistelrooy's next destination if the negotations between the English giants and Real Madrid come to fruition, according to the British Daily Mail newspaper.

As also reported by Marca, Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is hoping to employ the Dutchman's services as a substitute for Fernando Torres, citing his experience and goalscoring ability as qualities needed in the side.

For his part, Van Nistelrooy is looking to find playing time, as with the World Cup coming up in South Africa, the Dutchman would like to build up enough form to earn a place with his national team.

Liverpool are reportedly not too keen on paying a transfer fee for the player and would prefer a loan deal which would permit the Anfield side to evaluate Van Nistelrooy's form up until the end of the season. In the event of a loan, the Reds would not be willing to accept Madrid's terms in regards the Dutchman's wages.

Los Blancos would like Liverpool to pay a large majority of the former Manchester United striker's salary should the deal go through.
