Real Madrid Dosn't Rule Out Selling Raúl Asencio, Reason Why They Consider Selling Him

Real Madrid's important reason for allowing the sale of Asencio in a future market

Facd with constant injuries in defense, Raúl Asencio has emerged as Real Madrid's hero. The young player, who was the club's third option, has earned his place in the team as first team player. His excellent level has earned him the trust of both Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti.

However, Real Madrid hasn't ruled out a future sale of the young central defense. The reason behind this is the need for him to play more minutes and finish his training. Despite the 431 minutes he has played with the first team, they see a sale with a buy-back option as the best option.

This situation would allow the player to return to the club in the near future as an established star. However, this operation is still being carefully analyzed by the club.

A better opportunity

Forming in Real Madrid's academy since 2017, Asencio has always stood out as one of the most promising young players. At just 21 years old, the central defender has taken his opportunities to stand out with the first team. His debut was a masterful display of his potential after his performance and excellent assist to Jude Bellingham.

However, his future is far from being decided within Real Madrid. Even though Asencio will not return to the Castilla lineup, his emergence has made it clear that he needs more minutes. His playing time could be drastically reduced as the season progresses.

The return of Aurélien Tchouaméni and, above all, that of David Alaba could leave the Spanish center-back without many minutes in the first team. Because of this, a move to another club is a great option for him to finish his training in the elite.

A center of the future

Despite his more than certain presence in the match against Atalanta, his future is an issue that must be solved now. The youth-team player has done well to remain in the first team but, in the end, this decision is entirely up to Real Madrid. But the decision-making only falls to the top management of the club, who must opt for what is best for the institution.
