Real Madrid: picked up by Barça, Asensio has a second offer

The Spaniard Marco Asensio is actively thinking about his future, in this month of January 2023. The winger is indeed out of contract with Real Madrid at the end of the current season.

Marco Asensio does not have the confidence of his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, and this for several seasons. The 27-year-old striker, who plays a lot (22 games) despite being almost never a starter (6 times this season), hopes to have more playing time, at Real Madrid or elsewhere. Asked about his future in his current club, a few days ago, Marco Asensio had affirmed his attachment to Real and his desire to “renew” his lease in Madrid.

However, the international with 35 caps (2 goals) received a proposal from Real’s intimate enemy, FC Barcelona. Indeed, the Catalan club, which has a strong colony of Spaniards in its ranks, would like to secure the services of Marco Asensio next summer. Uncomfortable financially, the Catalan club has for several transfer windows already favored players at the end of the contract, and therefore at a lower cost.

A four-year contract for Asensio

According to the revelations of brand, Real Madrid has decided to take action in the matter. The 2nd in La Liga has even reached an agreement with Marco Asensio for a four-year contract, until June 2027. The only problem between the two parties lies on the salary side. Indeed, the Spanish striker, passed by Mallorca and Espanyol Barcelona, ​​would like a revaluation of his emoluments, which currently amount to 4 million euros per year.

The Madrid club would in any case have beaten FC Barcelona in this case, unless the disagreement between the player and Real Madrid, concerning salary, persists and benefits the leader of the championship.

In any case, in Real Madrid’s last three La Liga games, Marco Asensio has started twice. A vote of confidence that would have made the winger prefer his current club, rather than Barça?
