Real Madrid is making preparations for the upcoming season, and it appears increasingly likely that Marco Asensio will not be a part of the team. Recent reports suggest that Asensio has turned down a contract extension offer from Real Madrid, as he desires a more prominent role and starting position in the team. This situation has attracted interest from several clubs, including Aston Villa, PSG, Arsenal, and Milan, who have approached Asensio’s representatives to inquire about his contractual situation.
Among these clubs, Aston Villa seems particularly interested in signing Asensio, as their coach, Unai Emery, has specifically requested his acquisition. In fact, it has been reported by the newspaper Marca that Emery has personally spoken to Asensio, assuring him of an important role and expressing his confidence in the player. Aston Villa, who have qualified for the Conference League next season, are said to be on the verge of securing the signing of the Spanish midfielder. This move would mark a new chapter for Asensio after spending seven seasons at Real Madrid.
If this trajectory continues, Asensio may have the opportunity to bid farewell to the Santiago Bernabeu in a game against Athletic on Sunday, which will mark the end of the season for Real Madrid.
