Real Madrid offer a new contract to Liverpool target Marco Asensio.
According to El Nacional via Sempremilan (h/t Liverpool Echo), English giants Liverpool are among five clubs who have made an offer for Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio.
European giants Juventus, AC Milan, Arsenal, and German club Borussia Dortmund are among other clubs who have also made bids for the Spanish international. The 25-year-old appears to have reached a roadblock in his development at the Bernabeu.
Asensio is considering his future at Real as he has played just 377 minutes in all competition so far this season under new manager Carlos Ancelotti. He is growing frustrated on the sidelines and with his current contract expiring in June 2023, he might be looking for a new challenge.
The Spanish international made 35 appearances in La Liga last campaign, 21 of which came from the start.
He has also been in and out of the team under previous managers Zinedine Zidane, Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari. A player who promised much once, he has failed to live up to expectations.
Asensio joined Real Madrid from Mallorca in 2015 for just over €4m. Real’s arch-rivals Barcelona were also interested in his signature during that time but he preferred a move to 12-time Champions League winners. While he has had his moments for Los Blancos, they have come few and far between.
In six years at Real, Asensio has made over 200 appearances, scoring 40 goals and assisting in 23. He has also won two Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles, a Spanish Super Cup, three FIFA Club World Cups and two UEFA Super Cups.
Reds boss Klopp is thought to be an admirer of the Spaniard and could look to take advantage of the fact he has just one and a half years of contact remaining at the club and Real are looking to cash in on him.
A versatile player who can fulfil various attacking roles, he could prove to be an excellent addition to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
