LIVERPOOL are Premier League favourites to sign Real Madrid star Marco Asensio.
That's according to bookmakers Betfair, who've priced Jurgen Klopp's side at 4/1 to clinch his signature this summer.

However, the Merseyside heavyweights still trail frontrunners AC Milan, who are available at odds-on 4/6.
But this isn't a two-horse race.
Betfair think several other top-flight clubs are in pursuit with Tottenham next in the betting at 11/2.
Spurs are ahead of their North London rivals Arsenal at 13/2, who are followed by Newcastle (15/2), Manchester United (9/1) and Chelsea (9/1).
Elsewhere in the market are Inter Milan at 14s, while Espanyol and Barcelona are outsiders of the 10-runner field at 22/1.
Asensio, 26, has scored 49 goals and provided 24 assists in 235 appearances for Real Madrid.

He's won three LaLiga and Champions League titles during his six-season spell since arriving from Espanyol.
But with less than 12 months on his contract — many expect Asensio to leave the Bernabeu.
Spanish newspaper Sport claim Asensio doesn't 'contemplate' staying for another season, and wants to be offloaded.
The report claims Liverpool and Newcastle are interested but haven't made any firm approach to sign him.
Real Madrid previously valued Asensio at £42million but would now accept offers in the region of £21m to offload his wages.
The European champions would prefer a sale to an English club over AC Milan, given they are capable of meeting higher financial demands.
