Raúl Asencio could have left Real Madrid yesterday, the offer that almost changed his future

Raúl Asencio will keep wearing white. The Canarian center-back, one of Real Madrid's academy prospects, was on the radar of several clubs this summer. However, his decision was clear: to continue at the club of his life.

During the final hours of the transfer window, the possibility of a departure arose. In Türkiye, there was even talk of Fenerbahçe's interest. An option that was never really on the table. Asencio didn't consider leaving Chamartín at any point.

The academy graduate and his contract

In June, he renewed until 2031. This is a sign of absolute trust from the club's board. The club believes in his potential and wants him to be part of the team's future.

The player himself is clear about it. He has always expressed his desire to succeed at Santiago Bernabéu. He knows that the competition is tough, but also that there will be opportunities throughout the season.

Not only in Türkiye did clubs ask about him. In Spain and other European leagues, there were teams keeping an eye on his situation. Asencio's profile—young, very quick at intercepting, and with plenty of room for growth—is attractive to many projects.

Real Madrid listened to some proposals, but none were convincing. Neither for the club nor for the footballer himself. At Valdebebas, they are certain that the best thing for his career is to keep wearing white.

Asencio faces a key season. He trains daily with intensity and hopes to get minutes when Xabi Alonso requires him. The club sees him as ready to take important steps.

His contract renewal until 2031 gives him peace of mind. He can work without pressure and grow calmly within a demanding environment. Real Madrid has shown him trust, and the player wants to respond with hard work and performance.

A firm decision

The exit door slammed shut. Asencio won't leave Madrid. Neither Fenerbahçe nor any other club managed to change his mind.

Now, his focus is on making the most of every opportunity. The fans look at him with hope, knowing that the future of the backline may depend on his boots.

Raúl Asencio will remain a Madridist. His story at Chamartín is just beginning to be written.
