It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can fend off the competition from Liverpool and sign the 19-year-old German midfield sensation. The Merseyside club have a proven track record of nurturing talented young players as well.

The opportunity to play for Liverpool or Real Madrid will be an attractive option for the youngster, and he is likely to be tempted to join them both. It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs decide to come forward with a concrete proposal to sign him.

Stuttgart could look to demand a premium for their prized prospect, and it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid and Liverpool are prepared to shell out big money for the player. The 19-year-old German wonderkid will look to test himself at the highest level. Competing in La Liga or the Premier League would be an enticing prospect for him.

Both clubs have a rich history of winning major trophies, and joining either outfit would be a major step up for the 19-year-old midfielder. Raul Paula needs to join a club where he will get ample first-team opportunities even though he may not start regularly. Real Madrid and Liverpool will have to provide him with game-time assurances before a deal can be done. The youngster cannot afford to sit on the bench at a big club.
