Liverpool are reportedly tracking the Real Madrid forward.
According to a report from Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are plotting a summer bid for Real Madrid ace Marco Asensio.
The 23-year-old is highly regarded at the Bernabeu, but he has struggled for game-time over the past year or so, and a move to the Reds might prove to be appealing to him.
According to a report from Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool actually tabled a club record bid for Asensio in January 2018 – an offer that was subsequently rejected by Los Blancos.
Mundo Deportivo claims that the Reds now plan a move for the Madrid ace, who earns £90,000 per week according to Sportek, once again, but club president Florentino Perez is reluctant to let the Spaniard leave.
The Spain international is one of Europe’s best attackers, and he can play anywhere along the front-line, with his key attributes being blistering pace and exceptional technical ability.
He would be a superb addition for Liverpool, and would provide real competition for the likes of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
Asensio will definitely not come cheap, but if Liverpool manage to sign him, it could prove to be a really significant piece of business for the Merseyside outfit.
