Liverpool Transfer News: Real Madrid Await 'Serious' Asier Illarramendi Offer

Real Madrid are awaiting a "serious" offer from Liverpool for surplus-to-requirements midfielder Asier Illarramendi, who looks likely to depart the Bernabeu this summer.

According to Ruben Vegas of Marca, Real acquired Illarramendi for €32 million in 2013, "but they would be prepared to accept less and take a loss, as long as the offer they get is a serious one."

Further, the Spaniard "knows that Liverpool would love to have him," with Vegas adding that "both Illarra and Real know that the English club is capable of putting its money where its mouth is" following Raheem Sterling's departure.
