Real Madrid to beat Liverpool for Valencia's Aurelio


Real Madrid are aiming to trump Liverpool for off contract Valencia wing-back Fabio Aurelio.

The Brazilian has held talks with Liverpool and even visited Anfield this year, however the left-sided defender failed to sign a pre-contract with the European champs.
Juan Figer, Aurelio's agent, met with the player on Wednesday to discuss all the offers he has received - Liverpool, Real Madrid and Villarreal, with the Yellow Submarines the most lucrative.
Figer plans for more talks with Real officials tomorrow. Aurelio has jumped to the top of their shortlist of potential left-back signings, which also include Arsenal's Ashley Cole and Eric Abidal of Lyon.
