Real Madrid Confidencial Big offer for Asencio that changes everything, it's not from Türkiye
The impressive offer that Real Madrid has received to allow Raúl Asencio's departure
One of last season's great revelations was Raúl Asencio, who managed to earn a place in Real Madrid's starting eleven. Despite his talent, the player has been relegated to the role of fourth center-back by Xabi Alonso. Because of this, according to Defensa Central, Real Madrid has received an interesting offer from Saudi Arabia.
Despite rumors of an alleged interest from Türkiye, the Arab league is the one that has approached the center-back. Although the club that has made an offer for him is unknown, it included a considerable improvement in his salary. If Asencio accepts the offer, he would be earning twice his current salary at Real Madrid.
With the market in Saudi Arabia closing this coming September 10, Asencio's future remains uncertain. After the mistakes made in the Club World Cup, his image with Xabi Alonso was damaged. This opened the door for Saudi Arabia to try to sign one of the great talents developed in the Madrid youth academy.
Doubts about Asencio
At 22 years old, last season was a dream come true for Raúl Asencio. Starting as a Castilla player, the center-back was drafted by Carlo Ancelotti to reinforce the first team's defense. Faced with a plague of injuries, Asencio had his chance to show his worth and try to keep his place in the Madrid squad.
He achieved this goal with flying colors, being one of the best center-backs for Real Madrid during the past season. However, after the arrival of Dean Huijsen and Militao's recovery, his relevance has diminished. Of the 3,187 min. (3,187 minutes) he managed to play with the first team, Asencio hasn't played a single minute this entire season.
Although only 3 matches have been played, this is still unexpected for a center-back who was very important under Ancelotti. Although he has already renewed his contract until 2031 with the club, the Arab league continues to tempt the center-back with a move. With the Arab market about to close, everything depends on the decision Asencio ends up making.
A change in the defense
Despite the money Saudi Arabia is offering, Raúl Asencio has always confirmed his commitment to Real Madrid. As a homegrown player, the Spaniard has a deep love for the team's colors and crest. Because of this, despite the offer from Saudi Arabia, a departure by Asencio is unlikely to happen.
