Marco Asensio's extraordinary play this season has drawn the interest of a number of clubs, many of whom are looking at making an offer for the Spaniard. Among them is Liverpool, who are reported to be tabling a massive bid of €180million for his services.

Despite the arrival of Julen Lopetegui at Real Madrid making Asensio's future slightly more secure, the potential suitors are not throwing in the towel yet. 

Liverpool hold the most interest and they are currently in pole position to sign the youngster. Jurgen Klopp's hold the Real number 20 in high regard, and according to 'Mundo Deportivo', they have laid down an offer that would be difficult to say no to. 

180 million euros is the figure quoted as what is being suggested by the English side to tempt Real into negotiations. 

Liverpool will offer the player a five-year contract, with a release clause set at 700 million. However, despite this, Asensio's exit seems almost impossible. 

The Mallorcan can count on trust from Lopetegui, and will likely be a key part of his plans in the future...
