Liverpool have been served a decisive blow in their pursuit of Marco Asensio with news the highly rated Real Madrid midfielder has signed a new one-year contract extension that includes a stunning €350m (£308m) release clause, claims Marca.

Mind you, they are anticipating the sale of Lukaku, the money is there, how to spend it is the problem for Everton.
£308M is more than total squad cost of five mid table clubs in the premiership. SKY and BT sports are going to go bust.

Our concerns of the scouts actually trying to convince us to sign someone will thankfully now not occur." This follows news from last week that Michael Edwards has been promised an incentive bonus of £159.23 or his body-weight worth of Wagon Wheels should he help FSG not sign anyone. "It was a bit mean snitching on Kloppo to Southampton, but FSG are quite adamant that they really don't want to spend any money." Our sources indicate it is the latter Edwards is pining for.
