Barcelona are prepared to offer Marco Asensio an escape from the Bernabeu next summer and he is ready for a move.
Barcelona is reportedly mulling a deal for Marco Asensio, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo. The Catalans’ board is privately considering whether or not to pursue the Real Madrid attacker next summer now that he has emerged as a possible target for the Spanish club.
Asensio, once regarded as one of Real Madrid’s most promising wingers, has lost favor in recent years due to a history of injuries and inconsistent play. His overall position on the first team has been impacted.
Asensio has played less than 100 minutes of league football this season, falling below players like Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Junior in the hierarchy.
Even though his situation has recently improved, there is no certainty that Real Madrid would extend his contract; as a result, he could go on a free transfer at the end of the current campaign. As a result, Barcelona is on high alert.
The possibility of acquiring Asensio has the Catalans fascinated rather than their need for additional attackers. After all, the Spaniard is a free transfer and has a wealth of experience playing football at the highest level.
Asensio is a dynamic attacker who can play a variety of positions in the final third. This might come in handy for Xavi Hernandez, especially with Memphis Depay’s future still up in the air and Juventus still interested in signing him in January.
Asensio, on the other hand, has already hinted at a prospective transfer to Barcelona, and his agent Jorge Mendes has a close bond with Joan Laporta, the president of the Catalan club.
Only time will tell if Asensio transfers from the Santiago Bernabeu to Spotify Camp Nou in the upcoming summer, despite the Blaugrana considering a transfer for the Spaniard.
