Real Madrid defender’s agent working hard to secure transfer with a comparable contract

Real Madrid defender’s agent working hard to secure transfer with a comparable contract Jose Mourinho has enjoyed strong support from the board in the ongoing summer transfer window, and Los Blancos were driven and quick with all their transfers over the past month. Having already secured most of the signings they had marked in red for the summer, there is not much more for Real Madrid to push for beyond a central midfielder and a central defender. Even that, however, currently looks complicated given that there is a need for sales before a new arrival. As matters stand, no player is willing to leave the club. Asencio’s situation explained Of the players Real Madrid have actively been looking to sell this summer, Raul Asencio stands out as a top candidate. However, there has not been much movement on that front owing to the player’s first stance. Asencio refuses to leave.

In fact, the superstar agent is looking for a destination where the youngster can earn similar wages to what he is currently earning, all while having a more important role. The defender, however, continues to stand firm against a departure and Real Madrid cannot do much on that front. After all, they can only push for a sale if the player opens up to an exit at some point. Fifth-choice defender Asencio has had a reasonably important role to play for Real Madrid in recent seasons and even served as a regular starter for long periods. That prominence, however, only arrived as a result of a series of injuries in the team’s defence. Mourinho does not count on Asencio.

Antonio Rudiger, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen and Eder Militao will all be ahead of the academy graduate when fit, leaving a situation where Asencio will barely enjoy any minutes. Moreover, Mourinho is said to have directly spoken to the defender and conveyed that he is not part of his plans. The ball is currently in Asencio’s court, and it is clear that Real Madrid will not push for a new defensive reinforcement unless an existing name departs.
