“If he deserves to play, he will play. We have to take into account what Asensio did last year. He scored a lot of goals for us,” Carlo Ancelotti recently said of Marco Asensio. “We’ll have to wait until the 31st to see what happens and what his decision is.”
Said August 31 is the deadline of the summer transfer window. Real Madrid should have found a buyer for Asensio by this day, otherwise the Mallorcan would incur personnel costs for at least another six months. Which would be a big problem given the contract, which only lasts until 2023, and possible transfer income.
According to information from the Spanish digital newspaper El Confidencial, Asensio should definitely leave Real. There is even talk of patriarch Florentino Perez wanting to force the 26-year-old’s departure in the coming days. How it works?
Instructions once morest Marco Asensio
Coach Ancelotti received instructions from the board not to use Asensio anymore and to send him a clear signal that he no longer plays a role in his plans. Several clubs from the Premier League and Serie A are said to be interested in taking over. Interested parties should not be willing to pay more than 25 million euros. To date, there has been no concrete initiative.
In the Super Cup once morest Eintracht Frankfurt and the first championship game once morest UD Almeria, Asensio didn’t get a single minute of playing time. Last weekend once morest Celta Vigo he came up with a joker just before the end. The away game once morest Espanyol Barcelona (Sunday, 10 p.m.) is one more game before the transfer window closes.
