Posted Friday, July 01, 2022 by 7M Sport

Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio is considering leaving the club this summer or leaving on a free transfer, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

Asensio, who is contracted to Real Madrid until next summer, has yet to sign a new deal because he was not satisfied with the club's previous offer.

Real Madrid also do not want to extend the contract for Asensio, the player needs to decide his future, this is a World Cup year, Asensio needs to play a consistent time in the World Cup.

Real met with Asensio's agent, Jorge Mendes, last week and the player was told that Real do not want to make him an offer for a new contract at the moment, preferring to wait for the player to decide on his future.

It is understood that any decision Asensio makes will be respected by Real Madrid and if he decides to stay, he will be part of Carlo Ancelotti's squad for next season. Nothing will change as last season proved that Ancelotti has no problem with players whose contracts are up for renewal.

Asensio is on holiday and has a decision to make when he returns to Spain. Mendes has been told of interest from a number of teams, including AC Milan, but their financial situation is difficult to meet Real's asking price, which is 30 million euros.

Enrique is pleased with Asensio's performance and, with the World Cup approaching, would consider taking him to the tournament if he can get regular minutes.
