Liverpool have reportedly made an ‘offer’ to sign Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio.
The 26-year-old has been extensively linked to the Reds previously and it would appear that the interest hasn’t subsided.

Now, Premier League rivals Arsenal have joined the pursuit of the highly-rated Spanish international.
That’s according to journalist Eduardo Inda (via Super Deporte).
It’s claimed that the 26-cap Spain ace has ‘two offers’ from England worth 50% more than the current terms from the La Liga giants.
This season Asensio – once likened to Lionel Messi by Jorge Valdano – has scored nine times and provided one assist in 28 appearances across all competitions.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Valued at £36million and out of contract in 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing the Spanish forward for a cut-price fee this summer would be a superb piece of business.
Comfortable playing across the entire frontline, Asensio’s versatility would be an excellent addition to Jurgen Klopp’s ranks.
With previous injury woes seemingly a thing of the past, Liverpool would be wise to actively pursue the talented Spaniard.
