Baros confirms Real offer

The Czech Republic international increased his stock at over the summer when topping the goalscoring charts at Euro 2004, but his future at Liverpool is in doubt.

Baros was a fringe player under former Reds boss Gerard Houllier and he has yet to speak to Rafa Benitez about his role at Anfield next term.

The 22-year-old said during Euro 2004 that he would not accept a place on the bench on Merseyside, and it would appear as if his comments filtered through to one of the candidates for Real's presidential race.

Lorenzo Sanz has set his sights on landing Baros, and is claiming a deal will be struck if he beats Florentino Perez to the high-profile role, and the Czech star has confirmed he has been sounded out about joining Real.

"Real Madrid have made a concrete offer but it is still a question of discussions," Baros told Czech TV.

"It is only an offer. I still have a contract with Liverpool and go back there on July 19."

Sanz is standing against Perez, and businessman Arturo Baldasano in Real's forthcoming elections.
