Report: Real Madrid want Marco Asensio-Sadio Mane swap

Real Madrid are reportedly willing to offload Marco Asensio to Liverpool, but only if they receive Sadio Mane in return.

Asensio is rumoured to be a long-term target for the Reds, but his £85m valuation has put Jurgen Klopp off making a move in the past.

According to The Express, however, Liverpool will be given the opportunity to sign the Spain international this summer if they agree to hand over one of their star players in exchange.

Mane finished joint-top scorer in the Premier League last season, scoring 22 times to match Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and teammate Mohamed Salah, and Klopp does not want to lose the Senegalese forward.

Asensio was used 44 times in 2018-19, meanwhile, scoring six times and providing seven assists.
