FC Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Marco Asensio from Real Madrid.
According to Albert Masnou (Sport), the Catalan club have contacted Asensio’s agent regarding a possible move.
Barcelona have a good relationship with Jorge Mendes and look at Rubén Neves and Asensio as possible targets.
The report says:
Barcelona and the player’s agent have discussed the possibility of him ending up at Barça, taking advantage of the fact that he would arrive for free and there is no transfer fee to pay.
“As far as is known, there is still no agreement between the two parties.”
Actually, Asensio still hasn’t decided anything about his future. He can stay in Madrid. He can go to the Premier or sign for Barcelona. Everything is open.
Manchester United are fans of Asensio, especially considering his weak attack.
Erik ten Hag’s team has improved defensively, but still lacks the cutting edge up front.
Asensio has experience playing at the highest level with Real Madrid.
The three-time Champions League winner is a versatile striker and can operate in a number of attacking positions.
He would provide the necessary depth in United’s forward line.
Asensio’s contract expires on June 30, 2023 and Madrid have offered him an extension under reduced conditions.
It remains to be seen if the 27-year-old chooses to stay in Spain or look for a new challenge abroad.
