Sources have disclosed that Real Madrid’s Marco Asensio is in advanced negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to join them as a free agent. Asensio, who is a Spanish international, has been offered a contract renewal by Madrid, but he has chosen to move on after starting less than half of the club’s LaLiga games this season.
PSG’s Interest in Asensio
According to insiders, PSG is currently the most attractive option for Asensio despite interest from Aston Villa, AC Milan, and Juventus in the recent months. PSG is planning a revamp in the summer, which will include hiring a new coach to replace Christophe Galtier and the departure of Lionel Messi. PSG also wants to part ways with Neymar and is searching for forwards to accompany Kylian Mbappe in attack.
Asensio’s Decision
Asensio is an intriguing option for PSG because he is only 27 years old and would arrive with the best years of his career ahead of him as a free agent. Asensio has decided to leave the Santiago Bernabeu on June 30, as he understood that his role at Madrid, in terms of minutes, was not going to change next season. More than the economic aspect, Asensio is looking for a new challenge in his career.
Key Role of Agents in Negotiations
The relationship between Jorge Mendes, Asensio’s agent, and Luis Campos, PSG’s sporting director, has been critical in the negotiations. PSG has been working to finalise a deal with Asensio, and the two parties are close to reaching an agreement.
