Asencio's future at Real Madrid is currently very fragile. |
According to Marca , coach Alonso is not convinced by Asencio's ability, especially the defensive ability and stability needed from this young center-back. The 22-year-old center-back received great expectations when he debuted for Real Madrid, playing well in the middle of the 2024/25 season.
However, a disappointing performance at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quickly derailed Asencio's future at Real Madrid. In the opening match against Al Hilal, Asencio committed a foul that led to a disastrous penalty. Less than a week later, he received a red card against Pachuca for a rough tackle on Salomon Rondon.
The opportunity arose unexpectedly when Dean Huijsen was suspended for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup semi-final against PSG, but Asencio continued to disappoint. A foul on his own turf allowed Fabian Ruiz to score the opener. Real Madrid were unable to recover from that, losing 0-4 on aggregate.
Asencio's repeated mistakes have cost him his starting spot. He is currently fifth in the pecking order for centre-backs, behind Dean Huijsen, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Trent Alexander-Arnold - all of whom are rated higher by Alonso.
Furthermore, Asencio has faced off-field issues, including a lawsuit over allegations of distributing child pornography, which has seen him placed under investigation in Gran Canaria since May 2025.
Although the case is still pending a verdict, AS reported that Real Madrid are considering selling Asencio in this summer's transfer window, with a transfer value of only around 10-15 million euros.
