Marco Asensio scored the goal last night that put the first leg beyond doubt for Real Madrid against Chelsea, and news is soon expected on his future.
Calciomercato.com recall how Asensio came off the bench last night as Real pushed for a second goal against 10-man Chelsea, and he scored within three minutes. Although he has never enjoyed being a ‘luxury reserve’, he is demonstrating his capabilities.
He is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2024, and he wants to understand the club’s plans for him aside from the sizeable salary offer that was submitted to him in recent days. He wants to know if Carlo Ancelotti will stay, if he will have a greater role and where the investments in the squad will be made.
In this context of relative uncertainty, the interest of the various clubs must be mentioned including Milan, who have never hidden their liking for the Spaniard and have spoken with his agent Jorge Mendes in recent weeks.
Mendes has high requests in terms of salary and commissions, but which does not exclude a farewell to Spain for his client, while Asensio is stuck between the idea of finally reaching his potential with Los Blancos or trying a new adventure elsewhere.
