Paris: He found it with Asensio, who leaves Real with 17 trophies
Marcos Asensio’s tenure at Real ends with 17 trophies after joining Paris in the summer.
THE Marcos Asensio will change his professional home after almost a decade at Real. The 27-year-old midfielder is on a free transfer in the summer and has already turned down the Meringues’ extension offer as he knows the next stage of his career.
Paris agreed a deal with the Spain international that will bring him around €10,000,000 a year in salary and bonuses and all that remains is for the contracts to be signed.
Asensio first wore the Merengues shirt in the summer of 2016 after signing from Mallorca in December 2014. He stayed in the Balearic Islands on loan during the 2014–2015 season and also played for Espanyol in 2015–2016.
He won a total of 17 trophies in seven full seasons at Real but a serious injury in 2019/20 halted his development. In recent years he has lost his place in the starting XI and although he has made 50 appearances this year, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists, he was not satisfied with his minutes and therefore sought retirement.
