Spanish newspaper Marca published a report on Sunday where they claim Liverpool have made a renewed bid of of €22m for Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illaramendi.
After Liverpool’s bid rejected, the Reds returned with an increased offer and Marca claim the bid is likely to be accepted. Real Madrid are demanding a fee in the vicinity of €25-30m and they would be happy to negotiate any deal within that region.
Illaramendi wants to prove himself at a bigger club, therefore he would welcome any potential move to Liverpool. The Reds can hope that Rafael Benitez’s good connection with the Merseyside club will help the transfer swing in their favour.
