Mbappé, Tchouaméni, Rüdiger, Haaland… and Marco Asensio. Although there was little doubt about its continuity, the Balearic aims to be one of the hot names this summer in the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu, after being in the final stretch of the last summer market.
“We had studied a loan, but Ancelotti told him to stay. What Marco wants and wants to achieve is to succeed one hundred percent at Real Madrid. It’s his life,” Horacio Gaggioli, his agent, surprisingly revealed. Or rather, his former agent. Because it seems that in a matter of months everything has turned around for the Balearic Islands, yesterday he stamped his signature with the Gestifute representation agency, as he anticipates Goal. The same chaired by Jorge Mendes and one of the most relevant in the panorama by volume, hierarchy and impact.
Is the Balearic Islands considering a change? There is no evidence, but there are indications: his contract ends in 2023 and he faces a decisive summer in his sports career, after not fully meeting the stratospheric expectations that he generated upon his arrival after the injury. Both he and the club keep conversations frozen to extend it, despite the fact that he is one of Florentino Pérez’s little right eyes. As recently reported strong interest from Milan, but the end-of-season summit will clear it all up. There, Asensio will listen to Madrid’s plans, which he considers a priority.
However, on the field of play that interest is not reciprocated. Although Asensio has played 36 games, in which he has scored 10 goals and provided an assist, Rodrygo and Valverde are winning the game. At the beginning of the season, the fight to be the starter focused on the Brazilian and it is even. But the good performances of the former Santos player in the Champions League and the Uruguayan have been taking away his prominence. In fact, Ancelotti left the future of the Balearic open: “He’s an important player who helped us, I don’t know what’s going on about his future. I think he is talking to the club about renewing his contract, but I can only talk about him technically.”
