Liverpool have been cleared to make a swoop for a Real man who rejected Tottenham this summer, a freed Man Utd teenager has lined up a new club, while Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk claims Chelsea have a replacement in mind in case Saul Niguez fails to shine.ASENSIO READY TO MAKE JANUARY MOVE TO LIVERPOOLLiverpool are reportedly closing in on the January signing of Marco Asensio, who is prepared to leave Real Madrid in a bid to relaunch his career. The Reds only brought in Ibrahima Konate over the summer, having failed to bolster either their midfield or attack.But Jurgen Klopp is understood to be desperate to strengthen his hand in the January window. As such, he has seemingly set the ball rolling on Asensio.As per Spanish outlet Todofijaches, Liverpool have set aside 30m to sign Asensio when the winter window opens.And they claim the 25-year-old wants to move to Anfield in a bid to kickstart his career. He doesn’t appear to be in Carlo Ancelotti’s thinking and the Real boss will also seemingly allow him to move on for that price.The capture of Asensio will grant Liverpool cover for the attacking positions at a crucial time of the season. Both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah face around a month out of action due to the African Cup of Nations.But the arrival of Asensio will not only plug the gap, but also give Klopp another option to play Asensio as an attacking midfielder. And goals from midfield is a position the Reds have struggled with ever since Philippe Coutinho’s departure.Furthermore, Marcaclaims Asensio turned down the chance to leave Los Blancos for Tottenham this summer.They state he opted to stay in an effort to impress Ancelotti, but the move now appears to have backfired.A move to Liverpool would also reunite the player with a man who tormented them in the Champions League last season.
