Liverpool: Sadio Mane WON’T go to Madrid says pundit
Liverpool wanted Real Madrid forward Asensio back in the summer transfer window, with Jurgen Klopp personally earmarking the Spain international as a target.
Ultimately, however, he was unsuccessful and instead strengthened through the budget buy of Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke.
Asensio was being tipped to leave Real Madrid earlier in the season, when both Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari were at the helm.
With Zinedine Zidane back in the picture, however, any transfer appears unlikely.
