Asensio’s future is not certain at this point of the season

The situation

Marco Asensio has taken an important step into the future. The Spaniard has changed his representative, joining Gestifute , an agency whose boss is Jorge Mendes , just at a key moment. With a contract until 2023, it is time to make decisions, since letting the winger go at zero cost (as of January 2023 he would be free to negotiate with the team he considers) is not part of Real Madrid’s plans. It has been a consensual change with Horacio Gaggioli, his former agent, as AS has learned. Both parties understand that this move is best for Marco and his career, so it hasn’t been a traumatic breakup. A priori, the marked script does not change. He would be delighted to continue belonging to Real Madrid. In fact, in February we already reported that the white team had contacted Marco’s entourage with a view to a meeting at the end of the course. The objective was none other than to deal with the renewal, before the 26-year-old footballer’s contract entered the Cesarini zone and the option of losing him for free began to take shape. However, that this turn comes at this moment leaves an uncertain aroma in the future of Asens io. He is preparing his next move and this will come from one of the most powerful representation agencies on the football scene.

overbooked

The situation in recent months has changed. Although his numbers remain solid (11 goals, third highest scorer in the team after Benzema and Vinicius), his importance has lost gas while Rodrygo and Fede Valverde gained effervescence. The Brazilian, Asensio’s usual rival in the fight for the number ‘8’ lane, has recently put on his cape, with his many saves against Chelsea, to draw the extra time that would end in victory, and Sevilla, to draw the lines of a comeback that smells like League 35
