Liverpool Eyes Real Madrids Asensio as Van Dijk Replacement

Liverpool is showing interest in 22-year-old central defender Raúl Asensio from Real Madrid, as the Merseyside club sees him as a potential replacement for the 33-year-old Virgil van Dijk. This information comes from Defensa Central.

According to the source, the «Los Blancos» have no intention of selling their academy graduate and believe that the €100 million release clause in his contract is sufficient to deter interest from clubs like Liverpool and PSG.

In the current season, Asensio has made 40 appearances across all competitions, contributing with two assists. His current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026. According to data on Transfermarkt, the player’s market value is estimated at €30 million.
