According to Marca, Champions League finalists are currently preparing to launch a huge bid for Real Madrid superstar . The 22-year-old came off the bench to play in the final minutes of Real s UCL triumph over the Reds last month in Kiev, but beyond that, he s considered to be one of the most encapsulating and talented midfielders on the planet.
He s mature beyond his age on the ball and has been able to flourish in Real s setup this season, and has done ever since signing from Mallorca back in 2014. Asensio has been on Liverpool s radar for years now, which is why the €180 million price tag being discussed is so large.
Asensio would easily become one of Liverpool s best-paid players, as Jurgen Klopp attempts to form a team on Merseyside that is capable of not only reaching the Champions League final again but is also capable of challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title.
