Madrid will allow international midfielder to join Chelsea for just £22 million this summer
In the face of transfer interest from Chelsea, Real Madrid wants to cash in on Marco Asensio this summer and will allow him to depart for just £22 million.
Asensio has won three La Liga championships and three Champions League medals while playing for Real Madrid, but the winger only started 21 games in both leagues last year.
Despite receiving little playing time under manager Carlo Ancelotti, the Spanish international has a decent season record of ten goals and one assist. However, there are growing concerns regarding his future at the club.
Madrid is aware of the youngster’s promise, and he has occasionally been remarkable, but he has fallen short of the club’s expectations, and with Madrid looking to replace some players in the lineup, they are apparently willing to let him go.
With only one year left on his deal, Asensio will reportedly be sold by Los Blancos if a £22 million offer is made, according to Tuttomercato.
The winger is ready for more playing time and sought a pay raise, but he might be more successful elsewhere.
Well, there is no question that cash will be spent during the transfer window.
Asensio has always been liked by Chelsea, so if there is an opportunity to finally come in and make him a bid, we can see the Blues doing that.
He has tremendous potential and, with the proper coach, may develop into a star midfielder, making the transfer valued at the amount being discussed a true steal for the team.
Making a bid for the talented youngster may be a very wise move on Chelsea’s part, that much is certain.
