Marco Asensio has decided that he will not renew his contract with Real Madrid thus making him available on a free transfer, a report claims.
Relevo report that Asensio has made the decision to reject the renewal offer that he has on the table from Real Madrid and in the coming weeks he will sign for a new club. Jorge Mendes, his agent, and José Ángel Sánchez from Real have been in talks since December, but he has decided to leave.
Asensio has waited for Real Madrid because his priority was to stay, but he feels that Carlo Ancelotti did not stick to his word when he said how important he was to his plans, because he started on the bench in all the Champions League knockout games, as well as the Copa del Rey final.
Asensio has a handful of offers on the table and he still hasn’t decided where to go next, but several of the big clubs in Italy and England have knocked on his door in recent months, as well as PSG.
Now, he must assess the right move for his future after a season in which he racked up 12 goals and eight assists. Real were willing to raise his current salary slightly and gave him the freedom to choose the length of his deal, but the desire to feel important won over.
Calciomercato.com reported yesterday that Milan have had frequent conversations with agent Jorge Mendes in which Asensio’s name was mentioned, with the management poised and ready to try and sign a winger of such international calibre.
