Real Madrid change attitude towards Asencio

The Bernabeu club refused to sell the player born in 2003 before the summer transfer window closed.

Asencio is temporarily reassured about the future.

According to Fichajes, in the context of Besiktas urgently searching for a new central defender before the summer transfer market in Türkiye closes, the name Raul Asencio has emerged as a top target. The Bosphorus team is willing to loan the young player from Real Madrid with a buyout clause, with the desire to strengthen the crisis-hit defense. However, the answer from Bernabéu is completely definitive: Asencio will not leave this summer.

It is worth noting that just a few months ago, Asencio’s future at Real Madrid was still in doubt. Mistakes at the Club World Cup and being pushed behind Eder Militao, Rudiger and Dean Huijsen had left him looking like a “redundant”. However, the coaching staff’s attitude has changed. Real now see Asencio as a long-term project who could become an important piece in the near future.

Although he has not yet reached the desired level of consistency, the 2024/25 season statistics show that Asencio has made 28 appearances and won 78% of his duels. This is enough to convince the board that he deserves to continue to be given the opportunity.

Real's decision disappointed Besiktas but opened up hope for Asencio to rebuild his career. The Spanish midfielder must try his best to meet the expectations of coach Xabi Alonso.
