Like Isco, Marco Asensio is another player that is being heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid. The talented young Spaniard appears not to be in Zidane's first-team plans and that news reportedly has put the creative midfielder in tears, say Diario Gol, as his place in this summer's World Cup is under scrutiny due to the lack of regular minutes he has played this term.

But the fun part is here: Gerard Pique is reportedly aware of this and has told Lionel Messi that Asensio is searching for a house in London, as Chelsea have made a huge offer for his services. How does the centre-back know all of this? Apparently, he's still in regular contact with former team-mate and compatriot Cesc Fabregas, who informed him of this. Seems like these players are now footballer-come-ITKs.

Meanwhile, in another report from Diario Gol, Cristiano Ronaldo (see? players-come-ITKs) is aware of the fact that Liverpool made an audacious £133million bid for Marco Asensio late in the winter window - as they see him as a long-term replacement for Philippe Coutinho. As a result, they are also reported to be ready to make another approach in the summer for him.
