Arsenal in brazen pursuit of a 50 million star; Asensio in Liverpool

Arsenal has launched a low-price offer for one of Europe's most praised gaming constructors, while Liverpool is offered the opportunity to sign a discounted Real Madrid striker, according to European newspapers.

ARSENAL LAUNCHES ITS ISCO APPROACH

Unai Emery hopes to take advantage of Real Madrid's growing discontent by launching a cheeky move in January for Isco playmaker, according to reports.

Arsenal is on the market to replace Aaron Ramsey, who will leave the Gunners at the end of the season and open in Spain Don Balon says Emery is aiming high.

They claim that the player already has three offers on the table to leave the Bernabeu in January. According to rumors, Napoli and AC Milan would also be contenders for the attacking midfielder.

But Arsenal have attempted to get in pole position for Isco by launching a cheeky offer of 50 million euros for the player.

Real Madrid are at the heart of the biggest crisis they have seen in years: the reigning European champions rank sixth in the Liga and seem to be struggling after the summer outing of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.

And although 50 million euros are not enough to induce Real to sell Isco, Spain has more and more the feeling that big changes could soon occur among the European giants.
