Jorge Mendes set a plan for Asensio that Real Madrid does not like

Marco Asensio’s future remains the main unknown at Real Madrid, less than two weeks before the start of the white team’s preparatory season, scheduled for July 8 in Valdebebas.

The Balearic-born player has one year left on his contract, and he is now considering three options: stay until 2023 and go for free (with a transfer bonus guaranteed), leave this summer (which Real Madrid likes the most), or renew.

According to what was published by the El Debate portal, the white club made him an offer to extend his contract but without a financial increase, the player receives 4.5 million euros net in his current contract.

There is a feeling in Madrid that the player prefers to leave because Carlo Ancelotti’s team does not guarantee him continuity, which Asensio considers necessary to speed up his options for being with the Spain national team in the World Cup in Qatar.

However, Jorge Mendes has other plans for his client. The Portuguese agent is now representative of Marco Asensio, who left his old agent, Horacio Gaggioli, a few months ago.

Jorge Mendes, according to the above information, will not be in favor of renewing or seeking a transfer but fulfillment of the term of the contract. The Portuguese’s idea is to stay until 2023 and look for a team that will give him a good contract and put on the table a big signing bonus.

Currently, the two clubs who have shown a great interest in Asensio are Milan (Maldini is a big supporter of his arrival) and Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta pressuring the Arsenal leaders to make an effort to sign him.

Yes, clubs interested in Asensio already know that Real Madrid are asking between 30 and 40 million euros to give up their player who is still in the team.
