Liverpool are interested in moving for disgruntled Real Madrid striker Marco Asensio in the near future, according to reports.
Asensio, 25, has reportedly threatened to leave the club in the winter transfer window due to his lack of minutes, which could put the Anfield team on red alert.
Although he scored a hat-trick this week against Mallorca, an exit for Asensio appears to be on the cards, and Liverpool could be ready to melt.
Liverpool want to replace disgruntled Real Madrid striker Marco Asensio
Fichajes.Net claim manager Jurgen Klopp is keen to rebuild his squad and sees the Spain international as a superb signing.
Not having been regularly selected this season, it is believed that Asensio will meet with Carlo Ancelotti soon, and he may be able to leave.
Although not as star-studded as in years past, Madrid are fortunate to have names like Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Vinicius Junior, much to Asensio’s frustration.
It has been reported by Sport that he even threatened to leave the Bernabe after feeling “provoked” by Ancelotti.

Left as an unused replacement in the 2-1 win over Valencia, Asensio has “exploded” and remains unhappy with his role this season.
Asensio has reportedly been fortunate enough to move this summer, with Tottenham also showing interest in him, alongside Liverpool.
Other reports in August added Arsenal to the mix, but Liverpool are in a position to offer Asensio action in the Champions League.
With two years left on his contract, Madrid are faced with the possibility of selling him and receiving a handsome sum if he asks to go.

“If Marco Asensio or Isco or Luka Jovic are not happy not to play, that’s normal, that’s good.
“But Asensio, Isco and Jovic are training well. Asensio, Isco and Jovic will have minutes.
