Real Madrid bosses are expected to be very busy in the coming weeks as they look to plan for next season.
Several first-team players are out of contract this summer and their future has yet to be decided.
Marco Asensio is one of the players who could leave for free this summer. The 27-year-old has been reduced to a squad role for much of the season, and he could choose to take on a new challenge.
Asensio has been the subject of interest in recent months, particularly from Arsenal and Liverpool. Nacional (via Football365) have reported that the former are ‘very close’ to signing Asensio, with claims that Florentino Perez has ‘given up’ on trying to renew the striker’s contract.
Targeted Asensio
Asensio seemed destined to leave Real Madrid last summer, but relations apparently recovered over the summer. He has impressed at times, but his consistency has been questionable.
It remains to be seen if this information is true, but everything suggests that Real Madrid want to renew Asensio’s contract. However, the ball appears to be in the player’s court.
