Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will once again attempt to sign Spain midfielder Marco Asensio, 23, from Real Madrid. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)

 

Anyone watched much of him last year. 

Doesn't seem to have really kicked on. Its not like he is a kid at 23 and talk of huge fee's seem a bit much 

 

I won't doubt any signing klopp and Edward make, 

 

But is he a bit "fancy" for us? 

 

We're a team of full fairly tough men. No fannies, he strikes me as someone that would put on aftershave at half time. 

 

Saying that, the few times I've seen him he has been pretty damn good. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Asensio would be an awesome signing. A perfect signing for us. Cheap at €100m.

Keep away from the Nivea adverts Lee .

No way should we be signing Asensio for 100m. That's madness. He's been absolute rubbish this season. You could buy Eden Hazard for 100m.

[Lee909]

Would have though Kai Havertz would be a better option and probably half to two thirds of the price. 

[No2]

Full credit to Klopp and in fairness FSG. We are now in a position were we can go and take players from Madrid. Asensio is class and auto text changes his name to baseball which is surely a sign?

[Boss]

If we're throwing crazy money around City are meant to be getting rid of Sane. He'd be immense for us. 

[Lee909]

Don't think they'd sell to us though

 

Chelsea ban upheld for transfer ban. Say they are taking it to CAS. Sounds like a stalling tactic to get summer transfers over the line. Probably spend a fortune knowing they won't spend after like Barcelona did. Hopefully FIFA refuse to allow them to register players during appeal

[TheHowieLama]

No chance City sell to us

[Boss]

Rumours that City have already sealed two deals. Bruno Fernandes and Rodrigo from Atletico Madrid. 

[Boss]

We're being linked with De Ligt, Pepe and Asensio. 

[3 Stacks]

Makes sense for them. Fernandinho and David Silva are up there in age.

I don't actually think that we need De Ligt for the money that we'd have to spend on him.

 

Asensio, big time, but I don't think we'd spend £100m on him either.

 

Chukwueze at Villarreal looks the business.

[3 Stacks]

Pepe is the one.

[liverpoolsno9]

Gutting to probably miss out on the League. But, the Champions League the last 2 years makes us extremely attractive  proposition to European players, probably even moreso than being League Champions. Top players around Europe must look at that last night, the ground, the atmosphere, the players, Klopp and think, fuck I want some of that.

All 3 would work but I would rather prefer Brandt/Fekir over Asensio.

These three and the two as well for City are really just blue chips on the table -- young enough to not really be a gamble. 

I would pay market value for any of those players without thinking about how they would fit in tbh. Cream rises.

 

The wages on the other hand will dictate what we do as opposed to City. If someone is going to throw north of 150k a week at De Ligt then there is no value.

[Boss]

Asensio has scored 1 goal all season as part of a front three. That's got to be a concern. He's scored 6 goals the season before, so he's not exactly prolific.

Real Madrid, collectively, have been an utter shambles all season.

Madrid fan

 

Quote

Asensio wouldn't even get in the Everton team. 

Callejon is and has always been better. He's not even at that level. Zero desire. 

I will pray for armageddon if Asensio takes minutes away from Vinicius and Ibrahim. 

1 goal this season. 1 goal. 

Isco and Asensio need to leave so we can give minutes to Vinicius, Ibrahim and Rodrygo. Hungry players.

He looks good. Interested to hear your views on him @Arnaud

Are you trying to say there are multiple @Arnaud?

Red tops reporting that Utd have a deal agreed in principle for Dybala. Hmmm...

[3 Stacks]

Pepe is just an absolute perfect fit. Couldn't be better for the way we set up, our style, the age of the players we usually get, etc.... Brandt if he's willing to come, is a no brainer as well given the reported low release clause. Those two would cover loads of positions.
