PSG made three promises to Marco Asensio

Paris Saint-Germain don’t officially have a new coach yet. But the champions of France already have two recruits since Manuel Ugarte and Marco Asensio have successfully passed their medical examinations before committing to the duration. All that’s missing is the official announcement from PSG. A club that has decided to hit two big entry shots. For the Uruguayan, the Ile-de-France decision makers, who offered 60 million euros, were able to double the competition embodied by Chelsea.

Regarding the Spaniard, it was a very different case since he was at the end of the contract at Real Madrid. The Merengues have also offered him an extension. But she was up to it neither financially (a salary of 4 million euros), nor sportingly. On the market, Asensio (27) has therefore listened to the various clubs interested in his services. According to AS, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool were in the running.

Asensio was convinced by Campos

But it was Paris that won the bet. In addition to a very attractive financial proposal (a salary of around 10 million euros per year), three points weighed in the balance on the French side. AS explains that the presence of Luis Campos played. Already interested last summer, the Portuguese found the right words this time.

Thus, the PSG football adviser promised the Iberian international that he would be a key piece in the Ile-de-France project. What Madrid could not promise him. In France, with the departure of Lionel Messi and probably that of Neymar, he will have an important role to play alongside leader Kylian Mbappé. The fact of competing in the C1 each season and expanding his record are the two other points that convinced Asensio to say yes to Paris. Mission accomplished for Campos.
