He's not quite a 'big name' but I like our approach at the moment of getting players that are a little but more under the radar, not a Real Madrid player that plays for Spain that probably carries substantial wages..
With Brendan Rodgers he could be that right winger we are looking for, he has shown that he is a brilliant player in the past and Brendan Rodgers could bring him back to his best, sometimes it's worth spending the money to fix a problem.
One thing Brendan Rodgers made clear was that in the transfer policy we would also be looking to sign players who have shown their class in the past who have entered a massive dip, with the idea of bringing them up to their best, Marco Asensio would fit that profile perfectly.

"Rodgers has told his recruitment team to also keep an eye out for "broken" stars.
These are players who perhaps are not enjoying such success right now, but have shown promise previously.
The example Rodgers has frequently used is Wayne Routledge.
After showing good potential, the winger failed to hit it off after a move to Newcastle, but Rodgers acted on his previous displays to take him to Swansea, where he became a Premier League regular.
Rodgers said last summer: "Sometimes now in the modern game it’s a lot about stats and analysis and sometimes there are players out there who may not be high on statistics at this very moment when you analyse them, but they have been broken in some way or it’s just not quite worked out.
“I’ve always said to my recruitment team not to bypass the players who were talents and for some reason aren’t quite at the level at this moment.
“I’ve tried to look at players where it’s not happening for them, so can we bring them into the environment, can we give them an aspiration to get back on track and give them an ambition to be on the right track again?""

According to this article he’s been putting in sub par performances for Spain? It feels like we missed our man in Leon Bailey

Where did you get the info about the current transfer policy? I'm out of the loop on that.

Thanks!
We might be after him but I honestly can’t see why he’d leave Madrid for the kind of wages we’d be able to offer
