Los Blancos reportedly placed their first bid for the player on New Year's Eve, however, the Reds immediately rejected the offer. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amid uncertainty over the England international's future, manager Slot issued a warning towards the Spanish champions as he cited club legend Steven Gerrard's example. In 2010, the then-Real boss Jose Mourinho tried to sign the midfielder, however, Gerrard rejected the offer to stay back at his boyhood club.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters, the Dutch coach said: "There was one player (Gerrard) they would have really loved to have but he didn’t come. You know him better than me. So it has happened."</p>

WHAT ARNE SLOT SAID

<p>The Merseyside club will be back in action on Sunday as they play their first match of the New Year against rivals Manchester United at Anfield. </p>
