After the summer transfer window opened on Friday, Liverpool wasted no time in getting their business started, as they are on the verge of signing Darwin Nunez, and a new update has now emerged on another potential transfer target in the pipeline.
What's the most recent news?
Anfield could be an option for Marco Asensio if he leaves Real Madrid this summer, according to Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness).
According to the report, Jurgen Klopp has long been interested in the player, and the German would undoubtedly try to sign the 26-year-old if he became available.
According to reports, Asensio has been offered a new contract to extend his stay in Los Angeles, but has yet to accept a contract, and the La Liga giants will make the player available on the market this summer if he continues to reject club offers.
Consider him and Nunez.
Liverpool could be on to a winner if they can not only sign Nunez this summer, but also a strike partner in Asensio to replace Sadio Mane, who is expected to leave the Premier League.
In 31 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid this season, the €40 million (£34 million)-priced Spanish talent scored 10 goals, created one big chance, made one key pass, and took 2.1 shots per league game, while successfully completing the majority of his dribbles (68 percent).
After scoring a hat-trick against Real Mallorca this season, his manager Carlo Ancelotti said of the 26-year-old: "Asensio was able to move between the lines and with the finishing ability that he has, he is a danger for our rivals." He moves inside with the ball on his left foot and is extremely dangerous."
It has been reported that Liverpool's arch-rivals Manchester United are also interested in signing Asensio, but surely if the Merseysiders are interested in making an offer, he would prefer to move to a club that will compete in the Champions League next season, so Klopp's Reds could have a significant advantage.
FSG could secure a deal for the right price of business by bringing in the Real Madrid star this summer, as he could provide Klopp with another attacking option (possibly alongside Nunez) for next season.
