Arsenal pushing to sign Marco Asensio ‘at all costs’ amid big Liverpool transfer reveal

Arsenal are reportedly pushing to sign Marco Asensio from Real Madrid ‘at all costs’, although Liverpool will seemingly rival them all the way.

The Spanish champions would ideally like to receive £51.7m. However, they could be tempted by an offer which comes in at £43m.

This is achievable for both Arsenal and Liverpool, setting up a
