Real Madrid Confidencial Asensio, after his poor Club World Cup and the call from Arabia, makes a key decision
Raúl Asencio will not postpone it any longer and has made a decision about his future and his possible departure from Real Madrid
Raúl Asencio was one of the players who stood out the most last season with his outstanding performance in the team's central defense. However, all of this changed with the Club World Cup, where he showed a performance that was terrible and the worst in the entire team. Meanwhile, according to what Defensa Central has learned, the youth academy product has made the decision to stay at the white club despite interest from Arabia in him.
The Merengue youth academy product didn't have his best tournament with this last Club World Cup, where he was one of the main targets in every match he played. For this reason, making this decision wasn't easy, but he has the confidence to recover his best level this season.
He doesn't want to leave
He knows that his contract renewal, with this performance, won't be something certain, considering that there's a long process of revolution in the team at the moment. His lack of focus since the beginning of the tournament hurt the team with a penalty in the first match, a red card in the second, and a gifted goal in the last one he played.
There were rumors that there was interest from Middle Eastern soccer in the white youth academy player and, with that, a departure that could help him get playing time. This is one of the issues that worries the player and his inner circle the most, that with what has been seen, his minutes could be cut to an unsustainable point. It seems that this wouldn't be an obstacle for him to secure a spot in the squad in some way.
He wants to fight for his place as he has done throughout his career both in the youth academy and in the first team when Ancelotti didn't trust him. This way, he will try to convince Xabi Alonso that he can be a player beyond just the bench.
Decision made
The player knows that his decision can't be reversed and he will have to do everything possible to meet the expectations that will be on his shoulders. Although any carelessness could be fatal, so focus will be key for him this season.
