Real Madrid are prepared to cash in on Marco Asensio.
The Metro report that Los Blancos have put a £100 million price tag on the versatile 22-year-old, widely regarded as one of the premier talents in Spanish football.
Despite the Reds’ interest over the summer, it was never considered a deal likely to be completed before the start of the season.
However, it seems as though the champions of Europe are now willing to say goodbye to Asensio.
This isn’t one we’ll have to wait for either – Real are reportedly willing to sell their star attacker in January.
Able to play in an attacking midfield role or on the wing, Jürgen Klopp has previously been drawn towards naturally flexible players – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xherdan Shaqiri spring to mind.
A bidding war is likely to follow this revelation, with clubs from all over the continent eager to add one of world football’s brightest stars to their roster.
