Liverpool
are strongly targeting Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi, as per CaughtOffside.
The reports strongly claim that Liverpool are ready to beat Arsenal to secure Asier Illarramendi’s services in the summer transfer window.
Illarramendi joined the Spanish giants after impressing at Real Sociedad in 2013, he was tipped to be a fine replacement of Xabi Alonso who moved to Bayern Munich last summer but the Illarramendi failed to meet the expectations.
The
24-year-old Spaniard is expected to leave Los Blancos at the end of the season
as he has not been given enough chances to prove his worth. He has started only
five La Liga games so far this term.
It
was expected that he could play a vital role in the absence of Luka Modric (who was
out for few months with an injury) but still made only countable
appearances.
The
Reds have already started their search for a centre midfielder as skipper Steven
Gerrard will leave the club for MLS side LA Galaxy in the summer.
The
Spanish defensive midfielder is also been in link with Arsenal but the reports
reveal that former Liverpool and Real Madrid star Xabi Alonso is urging
him to prefer a move to Liverpool over Arsenal.
