Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has fuelled speculation that he could leave the Bernebeu in the summer as he is hesitant over signing a new contract.
Alonso's contract is due to run out this summer, and talks have reached an impasse.
We reported a few weeks ago that Real have been lining up PSG's Marco Verratti as a potential replacement for Alonso, if he were to leave.
Alonso's father, Periko, has been quite coy about his son's future.
"What he wants to do is to wait a bit to see what happens and how things go, and then, when the time is right, he'll make the appropriate decision," Periko told Marca.
"It's as simple as that - there's nothing else to it."
Alonso would be welcomed back with open arms if he returned to Liverpool, as he was a fans' favourite during his spell at Anfield.
Alonso has made over 120 La Liga appearances since joining Los Blancos in 2009.
