The transfer market does not stop in the middle of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, especially when the ones knocking on the door are the last finalists of the Champions League. Although this time, they would 'face off' for the transfer of one of the biggest football projects, the Spanish Marco Asensio.
According to the media 'Mundo Deportivo', Liverpool has returned to the charge for the midfielder with a view to the next season and would be willing to pay up to 180 million for the Mallorcan. An offer that Florentino Pérez and company would not accept for two reasons.
The first, neither the club nor Lopetegui plan to part with Asensio, who is also called to be the next Ballon d'Or. But above all, because the 22-year-old player has a contract until 2023 and his release clause is 700 million euros.
Real Madrid for now has not received a formal offer for Marco Asensio, who became one of Zidane's key men last season, where he played in 53 of Madrid's 62 official matches, accumulating 2,857 minutes that made him the 13th most used player by 'Zizou'.
