“I like to play with the best. If he came, we would understand each other wonderfully.. This is what Marco Asensio said when Kylian Mbappé was announced as leaving for Real Madrid. If the Bondynois has finally decided to extend his adventure in the French capital, the Spanish international (35 caps, 2 goals) could well evolve alongside the former Monegasque in the coming weeks. While his future in Madrid is now dotted, Paris Saint-Germain seem ready to jump at the chance.
As announced by different Spanish sources, this Friday, Asensio should leave Real Madrid this summer for sporting reasons. Indeed, the right winger no longer feels central to Carlo Ancelotti’s plans. Started only 18 times in his 50 appearances this season, the 27-year-old was also a substitute in all knockout matches in the Champions League, but also in the semi-finals and final of the King’s Cup. Author of 8 goals and 12 assists since the start of the season, the native of Palma de Mallorca therefore risks igniting the next summer transfer window.
PSG rushes on Asensio!
As such, ESPN reveals that PSG would now be on pole to recruit the 27-year-old from Madrid. According to the latest information from the American media, Asensio is thus “in advanced discussions” with the reigning French champion. Moreover, the Parisian proposal would be, in the eyes of the player, the most “tempting” compared to those of Aston Villa, Juventus or AC Milan. Determined to shape a new team around Kylian Mbappé, the capital club has, moreover, a sizeable advantage in this case.
With this in mind, how not to mention the complicit relationship between Jorge Mendes, representative of Asensio, and Luis Campos, architect of the Paris transfer window. It now remains to be seen whether the upper echelons of Paris will manage to finalize this first big blow in the coming days, at a time when Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte (Sporting CP), also represented by Jorge Mendes, is also targeted. In case of departure, the right winger trained in Mallorca will leave, in any case, a mixed memory. That of a player who has scored 61 goals and 32 assists in 285 matches but who never really confirmed the potential he was given…
