The situation
Marco Asensio is one of the players who can shake up the market this summer. Balearic has only one more year left on his contract with Real Madrid and there are several clubs that have him on their agenda. In this sense, Liverpool is one of those that has already conveyed to the Madridista’s entourage that they like him. Apart from the recent signing of Darwin Núñez, the European runner-up seeks to fill the vacancy left by Mané with another footballer and Asensio’s profile would fit him. However, the Real Madrid player is still looking for a project that practically guarantees him ownership, something that does not seem likely to happen at Liverpool considering the presence of Salah, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, Darwin, Diogo Jota… Be that as it may, Marco Asensio is on vacation and is in no hurry to make a decision about his future. The Spaniard has put his future in the hands of Jorge Mendes a few months ago, which gives him the peace of mind knowing that he will sign an important contract if he leaves Madrid this summer. The transfer market has only just started and the Asensio soap opera seems long. Milan, for its part, wants to go back to fishing for Real Madrid.
The details
The Rossoneri are delighted with both Theo Hernández and Brahim, who want him to continue, and have identified Asensio as the perfect reinforcement for their forward line. With the victory of the scudetto, now the Italians aim to go further also in the Champions League and the Balearic would bring the quality and international experience they are looking for. The Milanese club began contacts for several weeks. Now, the player’s representative is Jorge Mendes, with whom they are negotiating the renewal of Rafael Leao and the incorporation of Renato Sanches. The good relations with Madrid, moreover, favor negotiation, but from Milan, at this moment, only pessimism is filtered about the case.
