Cubarsí's Revelation About Asencio and Huijsen: De La Fuente and Real Madrid Take Note

Real Madrid Continues to Search in the Transfer Market for the most suitable footballers to join the Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The goal of the leaders led by Florentino Pérez is to complete the generational change in the defense, a zone heavily affected by injuries and a significant departure as a free agent.

Despite the recovery of footballers like David Alaba and the inclusion of the "surprise" Raúl Asencio, Carlo Ancelotti implies that more reinforcements in defense are still necessary. Thus, from the Valdebebas offices, they are already handling a small but promising shortlist of center-backs that will be protagonists during this month's international break in March.

Raúl Asencio has received his first draft for the Spanish national team. Another player drafted by Luis de la Fuente, Pau Cubarsí, has indicated his preference when forming the defensive axis with "La Roja." "Raúl Asencio is having a spectacular season," says FC Barcelona's '2'.

These praises for the Real Madrid player are joined by curious statements: "he's a great guy and we'd make a good duo". According to Pau Cubarsí, a defensive line led by the Madrid defender and the Barcelona center-back would be very difficult to beat. He is not wrong, as they are the two most striking center-back prospects in Spanish soccer.

Shocking Warning

Meanwhile, Pau Cubarsí leaves out one of Real Madrid's targets in the summer transfer market: Dean Huijsen. The AFC Bournemouth footballer is one of the great promises of the Premier League and a plausible target for the white club in the 2025 summer transfer market. But that situation could change due to the words of a player who knows both footballers well.

Pau Cubarsí implies that he prefers Raúl Asencio over Dean Huijsen to form on the field, providing interesting hints to the white sports management. While it is true that Real Madrid would work to keep both players in Santiago Bernabéu locker room, they might also be forced to choose between these two center-backs.

Especially if Asencio's renewal demands higher amounts than expected or Dean Huijsen's transfer offers unforeseen complications due to AFC Bournemouth's financial demands. In that sense, Cubarsí recalls that Raúl Asencio is making more sporting merits than Dean Huijsen and prefers him as a partner in the Spanish defensive axis.

Such words from FC Barcelona's '2' also act as a succinct warning for Luis de la Fuente. The Spanish national team is halfway between the complete renewal of its drafts and the maintenance of the veterans who offer better performance, a transition that would be led by footballers like Pau Cubarsí... and his choice for the national defense axis, Raúl Asencio.
