PSG want Real Madrid ace Marco Asensio on a free transfer in the summer

Paris Saint-Germain will look to snap up Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio in the summer.

The Ligue 1 club attempted to sign the Spain international towards the end of the January transfer window.

However, Madrid insisted Asensio was not for sale despite having less than six months left on his contract.

PSG are pleased to wait until the 27-year-old becomes a free agent. However, they will face stiff competition for his services by then.

They are not the only ones keen on Asensio, with Barcelona also reportedly keeping tabs on the Madrid star.

More clubs will join them in the race for his signature once he becomes a free agent.

PSG were trying to avoid that and also attempted to convince Madrid on transfer deadline day.

The Spanish giants could still be open to extending his contract. There is enough time for talks over a new deal to take place between now and June.


Asensio has played 24 games across all competitions this term but has started just six times.

He has scored three goals and claimed four assists, and manager Carlo Ancelotti can count on him for the rest of the campaign.

Madrid are challenging across three competitions and will need to maximise their squad depth.

Asensio will struggle to force his way into the side’s starting XI, but he is quality cover.

Madrid were not keen on doing business with PSG even though they risk losing him for nothing in the summer.

Whether Asensio will opt to remain a squad player at the Santiago Bernabeu or leave remains to be seen.
