Juventus have received a boost in their bid to add Marco Asensio to their squad at the end of this season as Real Madrid identify a replacement for him.
The Spaniard would be out of contract at the end of this term and has been in talks with his current employer to stay with them.
However, the talks are not moving forward and he hardly plays for them today, which has increased his chances of leaving.
Juve is rebuilding its squad and they hope to sign him as a free agent, although they have other suitors.
It now seems certain that he is leaving Madrid after a report on Tuttomercatoweb reveals that the La Liga side will replace him with Brahim Diaz, who they own but who will spend this season on loan at AC Milan.
Juve FC says
Asensio is one of the best attackers of the moment and has won the most important trophies in world football on Madrid’s books.
He can bring a lot of value to the current Juve squad if he joins them at the end of this season.
However, it is very likely that he will join the team that offers him the most money if he becomes a free agent.
We may have difficulty delivering you a lucrative deal due to our current cost-cutting measures.
