AC Milan are interested in the services of Marco Asensio, whose contract with Real Madrid will expire at the end of the season. However, the competition is fierce and it won’t be easy for the Rossoneri.
Brahim Diaz, in spite of his ups, has been a bit underwhelming this season and Milan could sign a new playmaker/right-winger to replace him. Daichi Kamada has already been lined up on a free transfer, but he might not be the only arrival.
In the second half of the season, Diaz has played a lot as a right-winger and Milan could thus sign a player for that position to replace him. According to Onda Cero, the Rossoneri will battle it out with Arsenal and PSG for Asensio’s signature.
The future of the playmaker lies at one of these clubs, per the report, as Asensio has decided to leave Real Madrid. This season, the 27-year-old has 12 goals and eight assists in 50 appearances for the Bernabeu side.
Without a doubt, Asensio would be a great reinforcement for Milan but the agent fees will likely be too much for Paolo Maldini and co.
Why would he go to Arsenal?
He’d be essentially swapping Real Madrid’s bench with Arsenal’s bench. They already have Saka.
PSG makes more sense with Messi leaving.
Agreed, although he can also play slightly deeper so I can see him being on the outside right of the Arsenal middle 3. He brings a ton of pedigree and experience that might be good for this young Arsenal side plus Arteta is Spanish. But yeah PSG makes more sense, and as bb below notes, we can’t afford him.
We can’t afford him. Nothing to see here.
Forget this guy. We’ve made multiple requests for him and he keeps turning us down. Keep your pride, Milan. Move on.
