Atletico Madrid have been scouting Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar, according to L’Equipe. Spanish scouts watched the 20 year old as he scored 2 goals in Monaco’s 5-3 friendly win over Swiss side Lugano at the weekend.

Also reporting on the story were the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, who have mentioned Liverpool as well as Atletico Madrid regarding a move for the Frenchman.

Lemar was linked with the Reds at the start of May but there has been no news since then. It may be the case that as the Merseyside club have been having trouble sealing deals for Udinese’s Piotr Zielinski (with their £11.7million bid being rejected) and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Mahmoud Dahoud, they maybe looking at Lemar as a potential alternative to strengthen the centre of their midfield.

The midfielder made 34 appearances in all competitions for Monaco last season, scoring five goals and providing five assists, after moving from fellow French side Caen last summer.
