Agent Jorge Mendes has proposed Marco Asensio to AC Milan, a report claims, but some help is needed to make the deal realistic.
TMW are reporting that Mendes – who is very close to the Milan management – is looking for a new club for Asensio, who will have to lower his salary. In the last few hours there has also been talk of a discussion with José Mourinho and Fenerbahce, who would be enthusiastic about welcoming him.

Asensio seeks move away
Having just turned 29, and with his contract expiring in a year, Asensio would like to play more to try to be called up for the World Cup in the United States in 2026. He is not in Luis Enrique’s plans and it cannot be ruled out that there could be a co-participation in salary to facilitate a possible loan.
Last season, Asensio played for Aston Villa from January onwards. He made 13 Premier League appearances with three goals, in 745 minutes played. The Villans did not sign him permanently and mostly because of his €14m per year salary, having signed for PSG on a free from Real Madrid.
During his career, Asensio has played 447 games in all competitions, with 87 goals and 68 assists. With the Spanish national team, instead, he has 38 appearances, with two goals. Could he be tempting for Massimiliano Allegri? It is not the first time he has been linked.
We should pass, we do not need expensive backup winger, at least not withouth the UCL. We have Salemakers/Okafor/Chuck/Jimenez, even if we offload Okafor and/or Chuck there is still no need for expensive winger, when we compete only in Serie A.
4- 3- 3 wow
Patricio
Jimenez Gabbia Pavlovic Pelegrini
Modric Pulisic Ricci
Noslin Gimenez Mbappe
Noslin?
I hope you like it Riki
Lazio’s Noslin, young versatile FW, an Indo-Dutch just like Tiji, as an Indo’s i’d like to add him in Milan too, it’s understandable but Mbappe.. dude seriously?
Asensio has technique and potential… Villa not keeping him raises questions on what is wrong with him, but profile-wise he’s a Pulisic-esque winger and might not be the worst thing for depth… him and Alexis are enough to cover Pulisic and Leao, even more if we can get just the loan with option
What is wrong with him is his 14 million net salary
Nope. It’s his gross salary.
Yep. The time for Asensio was when he left Madrid. He opted to be a golden substitute at PSG, so now he can lie in the bed he made.
Thats still 8-9m euro nett salary. He need to cut half of his salary if he want to join.that will be imposible . The only way ACM can get him by using dry loan with PSG pay half of his salary , but i dont think he will accept the role for back up
lmao, nvm… if we can get him on 5-6M, that would still be insane for a glory sub
no he chose money over Milan
I swear Mendes puts this guy on the market every summer… Milan are finally free of the Mendes virus. I’d rather we stayed clean.
We’re always looking at M&M’s notes from 5 years ago, why??? This is Emerson 2.0. Update the scouting reports ffs
