# Virals: Liverpool among clubs ‘waiting’ for Marco Asensio

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/11/02/virals-jude-bellingham-causes-twitter-stir-in-response-to-strong-links/) are believed to be among a host of clubs ‘waiting’ for Real Madrid forward [Marco Asensio](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/07/virals-liverpool-considering-move-for-real-madrid-forward-marco-asensio/).

The Reds have previously been [linked](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfers-asensio-kimmich-21201037) with the 25-year-old Spaniard and it would appear the interest hasn’t yet gone away.

According to a report from Spanish outlet [ElNacional](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/reial-madrid-asensio-ancelotti-ofertes-hivern_664499_102.html), as cited by [Eurasia Review](https://twitter.com/EurasiaReview) on Twitter, Liverpool are monitoring the situation alongside a number of European superpowers.

The report claims that the Anfield club are ‘waiting for a decision’ from the [26 times capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/nationalmannschaft/spieler/296622/verein_id/3375) Spain international regarding his future.

This comes as Asensio [struggles to feature prominently](https://www.sofascore.com/player/marco-asensio/361004) in Crdlo Ancelotti’s plans at the Bernabeu.

So far this season the versatile ace, previously hailed as a [‘very smart’](https://www.90min.com/in/posts/5563745-intelligent-marco-asensio-praised-by-former-real-madrid-ace-jorge-valdano) player by Jorge Valdano, has [scored three times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/leistungsdaten/spieler/296622) in 11 fleeing outings across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Jurgen Klopp will be seriously assessing the [attacking options](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) at his disposal over the next two transfer windows.

Albeit the likes of Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah continue to produce the goods – [Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino](https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/27/jurgen-klopp-on-takumi-minaminos-problem-and-special-divock-origi-15499052/) continue to suffer.

Asensio is a [widely versatile operator](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/296622) whose career has stagnated somewhat in the Spanish capital after rich acclaim in his early days.

Valued at £31.5million and under contract at Los Blancos until 2023 ([Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/marktwertverlauf/spieler/296622), Liverpool would be wise to assess the situation and perhaps swoop for a top player at a bargain price.
