The player wants assurance over his playing time
Marco Asensio joined Real Madrid from Mallorca for a €3.9 million fee, signing a six year deal on December 2014. He remained with his club on loan until the end of the campaign and was again loaned to RCD Espanyol for the whole campaign in the following season.
He returned back to Real for the 2016/2017 season and developed under former manager Zinedine Zidane almost beyond recognition. He has been a key player for the club since then and has established himself as one of the best young talents in the world.
The Spaniard was a regular for the La Liga giants last season, scoring 9 goals and assisting 7 in 48 appearances. He even managed managed to keep the likes of Isco and Gareth Bale out from the Starting XI.
But his progress stalled towards the end of the season and struggled to make an impact. Despite that he is considered one of the hottest properties in the La Liga and has been linked with a summer exit.
The 21 year old is keen to stay at Santiago Bernabeu for the next season but wants assurances of his playing time from new Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui. He is aware that the club are looking for new signings and has been linked with the likes of Neymar, Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe.
He believes he will lose his place in the starting XI and it will further stall his career. And should he not get the answer he wants from the former Spain boss then he could look to depart the Spanish capital.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are set to battle it out for Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio, according to El Gol Digital. They are keeping tabs on him and will move if he decides to leave.
