Real Madrid Transfer news: Real Madrid star Marco Asensio is the latest striker to be linked to an exit.
Although the Spanish player was available during the summer transfer market of the year. Carlo Ancelotti confirmed the possible transfer of his player, since he said: ‘Marco is looking at things to see if he can leave’.
But the Madrid coach also confirmed that he could end up staying at the club before the market closes. He assured that the player will have his chance to shine and added: ‘If he doesn’t leave, he will be a 100% madridista’.
Asensio was a rising star in the Spanish league. He started his professional career in Mallorca. He used to play for the youth team, but after impressing the first team coach, he was promoted to the senior team.
Real Madrid Transfer News: Join Madrid
After being scouted by both Real Madrid and Barcelona, Madrid closed the deal quickly. The club signed him for €3.9 million in 2014. Asensio signed a six-year contract with the club. He made two developmental loan moves for himself to Mallorca and Espanyol from 2014 to 2016.
Asensio began to appear in the Madrid line-up in 2016 and begins to appear as a substitute. Madridistas always saw him as a potential next big Spanish star. He had skills, excellent passing ability and long-range shooting ability. He could play on both wings and would sometimes switch positions to contribute as a midfielder.
Asensio is also one of the most successful young players in Europe, having three Champions League trophies, three La Liga titles, three UEFA Super Cups and three Spanish Super Cups. He also has in his showcase the trophy of Champions of Europe Under-19 of Spain. He debuted with the Spanish National Team in 2016 and is still a regular with it.
But the worst moment of his career came in 2019 when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a friendly match against Arsenal and missed the season. From that moment on, Asensio lost his Right Wing position to players like Rodrygo and Valverde.
The playing time of the Spanish Internacional has decreased considerably. With the lack of playing time, his position in the World Cup squad is doubtful.
Contract Status
Marco Asensio has less than four months left to be free to sign a professional contract with a new club outside the Spanish league. The midfielder’s contract ends in the summer of 2023. It seems that he has decided not to continue with the Spanish Champion.
Carlo Ancelotti does not see him as a starter. After not being able to sign for other clubs, Asensio has chosen to fulfill his contract and leave at the end of the season for free. This will also help you get a signing bonus.
During this summer, Marco Asensio spoke about his possibility of leaving the Santiago Bernabéu: “There are three possibilities. I can leave, renew or stay at Madrid and complete my last year of contract.”
Real Madrid transfers: Link to PSG
After Luis Campos became the sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, the club signed some bright talent from other leagues. There is a strong possibility that the club could sign Marco Asensio, as the purchase of the player will cost zero.
But the big problem is that the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, is not going to like this. The Spanish giant has a longstanding dispute over Mbappé, and PSG never liked selling their French superstar. Both clubs also had a battle to secure Tchouameni’s signing this summer.
Real Madrid will not like to let their staunch rival in the Champions League pass their game.
