Liverpool looking to bolster midfield at any cost 

Real Madrid has been one of the focal points of the transfer market in terms of player departures, as the club had in mind several sales such as Eden Hazard, Mariano Mejia and Marco Asencio, although in the end both they and other players still remain in the squad of the team led by Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, leaving behind these elements that could have shone in other institutions of the old continent.

The most talked about name on the list is that of Marcos Asensio who, despite having one of his best seasons last year, was very close to leaving the Merengues. After staying at the Spanish club for a while longer, the possibility of other teams being interested in acquiring his services is still latent, with Liverpool immediately entering the fray for this signing as they would benefit from the vast quality and experience that Asensio has from playing continuously at the highest level in Europe.

After the matchday 5 between Real Madrid and Real Mallorca, the coach showed that Asensio is not one of his favourite options for the starting line-up, playing a secondary role coming in from the bench and sometimes not even that, spending many minutes out of the game which has led to him being bothered by this lack of opportunities, which could trigger his departure in the winter transfer window to the club with the best figures on the table.

As usually happens in this type of situation, his current situation in the Merengue team seems to be deteriorating with the passing of the days and with his little or no participation in LaLiga, with rumours of his departure already circulating, with some newspapers reaffirming the rumour by saying that Asensio has already asked his agent, Jorge Mendes, to start looking for a place for him in another institution as soon as the winter transfer window opens, with clubs such as AC Milan in Italy making an appearance, while in England Arsenal and Liverpool are the ones who would like to take him to the Premier League.

<strong>Marcos Asensio to the Reds?</strong>

Among the teams interested in the Spanish striker, Milan and Liverpool are currently the ones most in need of a player with a decisive role in attack, because while the Italian club are looking to strengthen that area along with Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez, the Reds see Marco Asensio as the leader and partner that Mohamed Salah needs after the momentary failure of Darwin Nunez and the drop in level of Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota.
