# Virals: Liverpool ‘considering’ move for Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/07/virals-liverpool-target-karim-adeyemi-almost-certain-to-leave-in-2022/) are once again been touted with a move for Real Madrid forward [Marco Asensio](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/24/virals-liverpool-interested-in-move-for-real-madrid-ace-marco-asensio/).

The Reds were initially [linked](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfers-asensio-kimmich-21201037) with the 25-year-old during the summer and the speculation has recently resurfaced.

This comes as the Spaniard has endured a [slow start](https://www.sofascore.com/search?q=Marco%20Asensio) to the 2021/22 campaign under former Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti.

According to a report from [Spanish publication *ABC*](https://www.abc.es/deportes/real-madrid/abci-asensio-esta-mercado-202110061336_noticia.html), as cited by [Liverpool FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC) on Twitter, Liverpool remain keen on Asensio.

The report claims that the [26-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/nationalmannschaft/spieler/296622/verein_id/3375) Spain ace ‘is not comfortable’ with the lack of game time at Madrid, leading to the Anfield club, Juventus and AC Milan ‘weighing up the opportunity’.

Often on the periphery of matters at the Bernabeu, Asensio’s only goals this season came in a [hat-trick](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/leistungsdaten/spieler/296622) against Mallorca.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Signing attacking reinforcements is viewed upon as among the next phase of priorities for Jurgen Klopp’s [squad](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) as the likes of Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino face uncertain futures.

Offering impressive versatility, Asensio certainly possesses the quality and [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/296622) to prove a worthwhile addition on Merseyside.

Valued at £31.5million and under contract until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/marktwertverlauf/spieler/296622)), the report claims that the [serial trophy winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/erfolge/spieler/296622) ‘must be transferred or renewed’ next summer.
