Didac Aguirre Asencio could leave Real Madrid: the surprising destination if he leaves the club
The unexpected departure that Real Madrid could finalize this summer of Raúl Asencio
One of the biggest surprises for Real Madrid last season was the emergence of Raúl Asencio. The center-back, who started the campaign with Castilla, ended up earning a starting spot on the first team. However, according to journalist Carlos Carpio, Asencio could leave Real Madrid this summer for Saudi Arabia.
In Carlos's own words: "Asencio is a footballer Xabi Alonso doesn't like." These statements have certainly been a surprise given the level he showed throughout last season. Although Asencio has been registered to play next season with Real Madrid, the club hasn't closed the door on his departure.
According to what we know at Defensa Central, if a good offer comes in, Asencio will leave Real Madrid. For now, the young center-back is an option Saudi Arabia is considering. A destination that, in recent years, has been reserved for the most veteran players.
Asencio's unexpected farewell
At 22 years old, Raúl Asencio finished a dream season for him. Trained in Real Madrid's youth academy since 2017, Asencio quickly moved up the ranks until reaching Castilla in 2023. Under Raúl González Blanco's orders, the center-back managed to develop the talent that would end up dazzling the first team.
Playing more than 3,000 minutes (3,000) on the field, his importance to Real Madrid is clear. However, since Xabi Alonso's arrival, everything has changed for the academy product. First, the coach's trust in him has dropped considerably.
This is due to the mistakes he made in all the matches he played at the World Cup. Giving away a penalty, being sent off, and gifting goals to his opponents were some of his biggest mistakes. Even though he is part of the club for next season, his future could be far from Chamartín.
A surprising change
With a value of €40 million (40 million euros) according to Transfermarkt, Asencio's departure would bring significant income to the club. Real Madrid, for now, hasn't made more signings due to the lack of departures. This situation could be solved with the sales of Asencio and Rodrygo.
