James Rodriguez & Marco Asensio: Linked with Liverpool

Liverpool will look to lure both James Rodriguez and Marco Asensio to Anfield, according to reports in Spain.

Asensio has been struggling for regular time on the field at Real Madrid, with only 12 starts for Zinedine Zidane’s side this campaign.

Meanwhile, Rodriguez is thought to be available for transfer at the Bernabeu after falling down the pecking order this season.

Don Balon claims that Liverpool will attempt to sign both players in an attempt to strengthen their midfield in the summer.

It is understood the Reds might face some stern opposition from Real president Florentino Perez over any potential transfer for Asensio, however it is believed a big offer could tempt him to sell.

And the Daily Star reports that £40million could be the point at which the Spanish giants are happy to part with the 21-year-old, while any deal for Rodriguez could reach £52million.
