Will PSG soon have one more Marco in its ranks? After Marco Verratti, who arrived in the capital in 2012, it is not impossible that the capital club will open its doors to the Spaniard Marco Asensio in the coming weeks. According to information from ESPN, which we are able to confirm, the Ligue 1 leader is indeed interested in the profile of the right winger of Real Madrid.
At 27 years old and a few weeks before the end of his contract in the White House, the native of Mallorca would be about to change air. Confined to a role of "super sub" by a Carlo Ancelotti who prefers Rodrygo or Valverde, Asensio aspires to another status. After having expressed intentions to leave last season and being approached by several teams including the Premier League, he had finally made his seventh season in Madrid, ending it with honourable statistics (12 goals and 8 assists) but a playing time below his expectations (1964 minutes and 14 starts).
Like City's Portuguese Bernardo Silva, Sporting Lisbon's Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte, Asensio's presence in the stable of the inevitable agent Jorge Mendes facilitates contacts with Luis Campos, the director of football of PSG. However, they are not enough to ensure a contractual outcome between the Parisian training and the Spaniard, the latter being one of the many tracks followed by Paris.
The only certainty is that the Mallorcan will soon decide on his future. In the sights of several clubs, in the Premier League and Serie A, Asensio is currently weighing the pros and cons of each of the destinations offered to him. The player has not, for the moment, categorically ruled out the possibility of staying at Real Madrid, provided he enjoys extended playing time.
An unlikely outcome in reality, the latter having, according to the Spanish press, already refused the last extension proposal that had been transmitted to him by the leaders of Real. In England, West Ham has notably put itself on the ranks, invited to position itself by an Unai Emery who appreciates the qualities of the player. But he's not alone. A week before the 38th and last day of La Liga, the Madrid player would not have the idea of letting things drag on and should choose his future club very soon.
