AC Milan Wants To Take A Real Madrid First Team Player-What Will Perez Do?
According to recent reports, defending Serie A winners AC Milan are in the lead in the race to acquire Spanish attacker Marco Asensio from their rivals in La Liga, Real Madrid
The defending champions of Serie A, AC Milan, are reportedly in pole position to sign Marco Asensio during the summer transfer window, as reported by the Spanish publication Defensa Central. The Spanish attacker is anticipated to depart Real Madrid because of the club’s inability to reach an agreement with him about the parameters of a new deal.
Even though the 2021/22 season was his most productive one to date in terms of goals, it appears that Marco Asensio’s time at Real Madrid is coming to an end. Only Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. found the back of the net more often for Real Madrid than the 26-year-old forward, who finished the season with 12 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions.
However, on July 1, Asensio will enter the last year of his contract with Real Madrid, putting Los Blancos in a difficult position about his long-term future with the club. Recent rumours have suggested that the reigning champions of La Liga are willing to trade the Spanish international player, even though discussions on a new contract have hardly advanced. The attention of AC Milan has been drawn to this particular circumstance.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the Serie A champions are searching for a new forward reinforcement to add to their roster. AC Milan would want to acquire a wide attacker in addition to Divock Origi, who will join from Liverpool in a Bosman transfer to enhance Stefano Pioli’s options at centre forward.
Where will Marco Asensio move to?
Since this, AC Milan has surfaced as a potential suitor for Asensio because the club believes he would be a valuable asset to the team’s right flank options. Given the inconsistent play of Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias, AC Milan might need a more reliable attacker on the right flank, which would put the Real Madrid forward into the conversation.
There have been several rumours indicating that Asensio is open to the possibility of joining AC Milan. Defensa Central claims that the Serie A champions are in the lead to sign Asensio away from Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.
Many top teams in England, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are interested in him. However, it seems that Asensio will most likely sign with AC Milan when he completes his move from Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. However, Milan has yet to overcome the challenge of meeting Asensio’s pay demands, so it would be intriguing to see whether they are successful in bringing this transaction to fruition.
