The time when we thought that Marco Asensio was about to walk on the football world is far away. The Real Madrid attacking midfielder has not reached the level we hoped for and now finds himself confined to a substitute role on the Merengue bench.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke in particular about the situation of Asensio, who participated in 31 La Liga games last season, scoring 10 goals.
“As I said, Asensio is a Madrid player and until he is, I consider him a Madrid player and he is going to play. You have to take into account what he has done the year Last time he scored a lot of goals. He’s an important player, as long as he’s from Madrid. We have to wait for the 31st and see what happens.”
At the end of the contract in June 2023, the 26-year-old Spanish international however thinks that his new role is not a sporting choice from his coach, but the result of instructions from the club’s management. Refusing for the moment to extend, the player believes that this is a pressure to push him to resolve his situation, according to Cadena COPE. Asensio could therefore leave the club before the end of the summer, if an offer ends up arriving on the table from Florentino Perez. Despite mentions of interest from Milan or Arsenal, the president of Real has reportedly received nothing so far.
The attacking midfielder did not participate in any of the first two official matches of the Madrid club, neither against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0), nor against Almeria (1-2).
to summarize
The Real Madrid attacking midfielder believes he is the victim of a conspiracy when he has not played since the start of the season. Refusing for the moment to extend, the player believes that this is a pressure to push him to resolve his situation, according to Cadena COPE.
