Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio makes Barcelona transfer decision as contract runs out in the summer.
A certain Marco Asensio is now being considered, despite the fact that reinforcing the wide areas is not a priority, as a result of the apparent discussion within the Barcelona management regarding the strengthening of the current roster.
The Real Madrid winger is still regarded as a desirable prospect, according to the Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, mainly since his current deal expires at the end of the current campaign and the team from the capital city is unsure on offering an extension.
Asensio’s name has been associated with Barcelona for this precise reason, and it should be noted that even the player hasn’t ruled out the prospect of joining his team’s championship rivals in a transfer.
The availability of Asensio is the subject of internal debate at Barça, and the Catalan team is considering all options in that regard.
To begin with, it would be a form of domination to sign a player from a direct championship competitor on a free transfer. Second, he is someone who can make a difference now and in the future at the young age of 26. Barcelona would just be required to pay the signing bonus in order to acquire him.
However, because there are other areas that require reinforcement, management is carefully considering whether or not his signing is necessary. The top priority is to sign a right-back first.
The desire to sign a pivot then arises, mainly because Sergio Busquets will probably leave at the end of the season. Last but not least, having Robert Lewandowski’s backup in the coming season will be essential.
In all respect, Barcelona’s current priorities don’t include adding a winger. However, given Asensio’s significant contributions, there are some reasons that favor Barcelona when it comes to signing him.
As a result of his willingness to take risks, he has a respectable conversation rate from medium to long range. This is a component Barcelona is lacking this year.
Additionally, Joan Laporta and Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent from Portugal, have a close professional relationship.
Given that Madrid is considering the possibility of signing him to a new three-year contract, there are still chances that he could stay with the club. But if not, Barcelona would presumably welcome him.
