Liverpool have been linked with a stunning move for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio.

Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo has claimed that the Reds have tabled a “formal and firm offer” of £158 million for the 22-year-old.

Madrid would use the income from Asensio’s sale to fund the purchase of Neymar from Paris-Saint Germain.

Asensio – currently with Spain at the World Cup in Russia – played 53 of Madrid’s 62 matches last season, but many of his appearances were from off the bench.
