# Virals: Liverpool ‘presented an offer’ to Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/07/virals-liverpool-striker-divock-origi-wanted-by-epl-rivals/) have reportedly ‘presented an offer’ to Real Madrid forward [Marco Asensio](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/11/02/virals-liverpool-among-clubs-waiting-for-marco-asensio/) in recent months.

The Reds are expected to enter the market for attacking reinforcements in the near future and one of the names [linked](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/media-watch/445905-liverpool-weigh-up-marco-asensio-transfer) was that of the 25-year-old.

No longer a [sure-fire starter](https://www.sofascore.com/player/marco-asensio/361004) at the Bernabeu, Asensio is believed to have even ‘studied the housing options’ on Merseyside amidst speculation.

That’s according to a report from Spanish outlet [El Nacional](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/marco-asensio-liverpool-retira-oferta-reial-madrid-no-negociara_691202_102.html) that now claims the Anfield club have moved onto other targets – such as the hotly tipped Luis Diaz.

The report claims that Liverpool now ‘prefer’ the [31-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luis-diaz/nationalmannschaft/spieler/480692/verein_id/3816) Columbian ace as well as the ‘very interesting’ Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma.

This season Asensio has [scored seven times and provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/leistungsdaten/spieler/296622) in 21 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £36million and under contract in Madrid until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/marktwertverlauf/spieler/296622)), signing the Spaniard at an affordable price is becoming a realistic prospect.

Capable of [operating across the frontline](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-asensio/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/296622) and with previous rich acclaim, it’s clear to see why Jurgen Klopp would’ve been keen.

However, it would certainly seem that the club has turned [attention to capturing Diaz](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12709/12509887/liverpool-close-to-60m-deal-for-porto-winger-luis-diaz-paper-talk) instead and Asensio may have to seek interest from elsewhere.
