The love story between Marco Asensio and Real Madrid is one step closer to the end. At the end of his contract in June 2023 with the club from the Spanish capital, the versatile 26-year-old winger has logically been the object of many desires since the opening of the summer transfer window in 2022. And for good reason, he is coming out of a good season with the Merengues (12 goals and 2 assists in 42 appearances in total) and is one of the important elements of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
This is why, in recent weeks, Juventus, AC Milan, Arsenal and Liverpool have positioned themselves for the Spanish international (29 caps, 1 goal). Marco Asensio, now represented by the renowned Jorge Mendes, recently explained that he did not know what his future will be like, while opening the door to a departure this summer. “I’m not going to deny that it’s an important moment for me, I feel more mature in all aspects, and I have to value a lot of things. I want to keep growing and I’m hungry. We will have to see, I will make a decision this year. If not, it will be next. »
Real do not want to renew Asensio
The latest information revealed by the Cadena COPE on the other side of the Pyrenees in any case lift the veil on the future of the native of Palma de Mallorca. The Iberian media simply explains that Real Madrid has decided not to offer a contract extension to its number 11, who will therefore probably have to look elsewhere in the coming weeks. The behavior of the player and his agent, ready to clash with management, would he have forced Real to make this decision?
One thing is certain: even if the false arrival of Kylian Mbappé opens up more prospects for him to play, his one and only objective remains to have a consistent and above all regular playing time. Especially since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is fast approaching. The COPE adds that Marco Asensio currently has an offer from Milan and Liverpool. He is therefore spoiled for choice, while Real may for his part try to recover a nice check instead of seeing a quality element leave for free next summer.
