“Our position is very clear. I’m not going to repeat it. If he wants to stay, he stays. But, he has to extend his contract. We can’t let him leave for free and that’s what he promised to the club. If he changes his mind, it’s not my problem.”

Furthermore, PSG announced an ultimatum of two weeks for Kylian Mbappe to make his final decision. Now, in a very intriguing moment on social media, Marco Asensio might have hinted what’s going to happen.

Marco Asensio ‘hints’ the final decision of Kylian Mbappe

This Thursday, Marco Asensio was officially announced as new player of PSG on a free transfer. After eight years playing at Real Madrid, he needed a change considering there will be no minutes with names such as Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo or Jude Bellingham in the lineup.

So, Asensio went to social media and expressed his happiness for the new challenge ahead. In one of those images, Kylian Mbappe appeared on Instagram with the jersey of his possible team for the 2023-2024 season.

In the cartoon, Marco Asensio wears PSG’s uniform and is hugging and smiling with Mbappe. The image portrays Kylian giving a warm welcome to the recent addition of Paris-Saint Germain.

If this is a sign of what’s next to come, only time will tell. However, at least for now, Mbappe’s desire is to fulfill his contract with PSG until the summer of 2024 and then go for free to Real Madrid. Though that’s not a viable option for Nasser Al-Khelaifi, it could be the final chapter of the story.

Mariano Diaz is the second player that will be let go by Carlo Ancelotti; the Whites have now confirmed his exit on a free transfer at the conclusion of the season. Despite being re-signed after a stellar 2017-18 season at Lyon, his time back in the Spanish capital has not gone as planned or anticipated.

Meanwhile, Karim Benzema is reportedly seriously contemplating a transfer to Saudi Arabia after getting a tempting offer of €150 million per year from Al-Ittihad. Not long ago, he was on the verge of extending his contract at Santiago Bernabeu, but things look to have shifted.

Who is the next player that will leave Real Madrid?

It has been confirmed that Eden Hazard will follow them out of Real Madrid. The Athletic had previously reported citing sources inside the club’s Valdebebas training facility and among the player’s entourage.

El Partidazo de COPE had added that the home of the Belgian ace is already on the market, as the necessary steps have been taken by Real Madrid to terminate his contract.

Just moments later, the La Liga giants issued a public statement confirming the news. “Real Madrid C. F. and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement by which the player is disassociated from the club as of June 30, 2023”, it said.

The next day, on Sunday, when his side play Athletic Club in the last La Liga game of the season, the 31-year-old winger will play his final game at the Santiago Bernabeu. The former Chelsea star has not decided whether or not to retire at this time, although The Athletic add that the possibility exists.

After helping the Whites win their record-setting 14th Champions League title, the 35-year-old was awarded the Ballon d’Or last season. Despite having signed a contract that would keep him in the Spanish capital until 2024, the striker is reportedly on the verge of leaving after scoring 353 goals for the club.

Losing Benzema would mean saying goodbye to one of Real Madrid’s most reliable players in recent years. What is more, another long-term Los Blancos stalwart seems to be on his way out the door.

Who is expected to be Lionel Messi’s replacement at PSG?

There have been many turns in Marco Asensio‘s future in Madrid, with the most recent one leading him to a free move to Paris Saint-Germain when his contract with Real Madrid ends this summer, as per The Athletic and Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano. It would be fair to say that the Spaniard’s final year at Santiago Bernabeu has been defined by terrible timing.

Last summer, the 27-year-old winger indicated his willingness to stay with the club, but when Real Madrid heard his demands, they thought they were ridiculous and ended negotiations. Thus, the player had hardly any playing time throughout the first few games of the season.

With steady play whenever given a chance, he eventually regained Carlo Ancelotti‘s confidence and ended up playing in 30 league games. As his contract with Los Blancos expires in June, the club is now eager to extend his stay. However, Asensio now apparently does not want to extend his contract this time around, therefore he is leaving.

With his relocation to Paris, the Spaniard is projected to enjoy a substantial raise in his compensation, from €4 million to €10 million gross annually. In addition to a pay rise, Marco Asensio hopes to play a more significant role in Ligue 1 now that Lionel Messi is set to leave France.

After breaking into the first Los Blancos squad in 2016-17, the now 27-year-old has established himself as a top prospect in the game. Inconsistent play and a major ACL injury in later seasons sapped his potential, but the forward still managed to chip in with key goals and assists.

Premier League side Aston Villa allegedly came close to signing the Spaniard, but the Ligue 1 winners ultimately won out. Even though the transfer hasn’t been officially completed just yet, it’s expected to be after Real Madrid’s season-ending La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

Who is expected to succeed Marco Asensio at Real Madrid?

Two of Real Madrid’s most important players in recent years—Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio—appear to be leaving the club. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti reportedly has concerns about next season’s lack of depth in the final third.

It has been speculated in the past day or two that Milan loanee Brahim Diaz may return to the club for the next season to provide offensive support and establish a claim under the Italian boss. After Asensio’s departure, the Whites reportedly want to bring the 23-year-old back to give Ancelotti more attacking options. The report comes courtesy of Calciomercato.com.

The Rossoneri have publicly stated their desire to make Brahim a permanent addition to the team due to his impressive play so far this season. According to Spanish outlet Relevo, however, Real Madrid will turn down Milan’s offer because they want to retain Brahim on the first squad until at least the end of the 2023–24 campaign.

Spainhad everything under control and then theWorld Cupgot a little bit complicated. They won 7-0 againstCosta Ricaand had a 1-0 lead in their second game with Germany. However,Niclas Füllkrugscored, tied that match and now Luis Enrique’s team might even be eliminated with a loss facing Japan.

Four years ago, Spain had a resounding failure with a loss against Russia in the Round fo 16. Now, disaster can be bigger if they don’t take care of businees with Japan. Read here to find out why Marco Asensio is not starting and all the changes made by Luis Enrique.

Why is Marco Asensionot playing in Spainvs Japan?

Luis Enrique decided to shake his starting lineup in order to clinch a ticket to the Round of 16. So, as part of all these tactical changes, Marco Asensio is one of the players going to the bench. Spain present a new attack for the game against Japan considering Ferran Torres won’t start either. The responsibility goes to Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams.

By the way, Jordi Alba is another player who is not in thisstarting lineup for Spain:Unai Simon, Cesar Azpilicueta, Rodri, Pau Torres, Alejandro Balde, Sergio Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Dani Olmo, NicoWilliams and Alvaro Morata.

Spain clinch the first place of Group E with a win over Japan and then would have to face Croatia in the Round of 16. If they finish as runner-up, Spain would clash with Morocco, but justin case Luis Enrique’s squad aren’t eliminated by a loss and a combinations of results in Germany-Costa Rica.

The Gunners have gone all in during the transfer market aiming to upgrade a squad that finished 8th in the 2020-21 Premier League and failed to secure European qualification for the first time in more than 20 years.

Mikel Arteta has seen plenty of newarrivalsin London with Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Aaron Ramsdale, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Nuno Tavares joininghis roster in a transfer window where Arsenal spent more than£150m. However, we mightsee more new faces at the Emirates by winter.

Arsenal reportedly considering to insistfor Real Madrid forward

It would be normal to think their strong summer transfer activityshould be more than enough for Arsenal. However, that doesn’t really seem to be the case. Apparently, Mikel Arteta wants to add more firepower in January.

According to the Daily Star, Arsenal would remain interested in signing Marco Asensio from Real Madrid after having a significant offer rejected this summer. Spanish radio station Cadena Ser reported that the Gunners made a£34m bid to land the right winger but Los Blancos turned it down.

The British outlet, however, claims that Mikel Arteta is a huge fan of Asensio and he is keen on making another push to land the 25-year-old when the next transfer window opens. Not long ago, Arsenal acquired Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid for£30 million.

Additionally, Dani Ceballoswas also sent to the London side on loan twice. But Madrid were unwilling to reach an agreementfor Asensio as Carlo Ancelotti promised he would be considered for the first team.

The Italian manager hasn’t completely kept his promise so far but the player began to see the field lately and a lot can change in the next few months. However,Arsenal may have a shot if the forward is unsatisfied with his playing minutes by the end of the year.

Asensio did have an improved season last year playing in 35 games for Madrid and scoring 5 goals, he is still on the Spanish national team where he has 25 caps and 1 goal. Despite some loan spells Asensio has been consistently in Real Madrid’s squad but according to Fichajes, never lived up to his expectations.

Now with the World Cup looming and playing time at Real Madrid decreasing, Marco Asensio may pull the trigger on one ofthe three options he has available. Here are the three clubs reported to be interested in Marco Asensio.

AC Milan

AC Milan was interested in bringing in Asensio before, and they might pull the trigger on him again. The Spanish midfielder would fit in well at AC Milan and could play a startingrole on the team.

Juventus

Juventus is in a sort of rebuilding mode and the midfield at Juve is very talented, while playing time might also be hard to come by a change of scenery might do Asensio some good. He would have to fight for playing time.

Liverpool

Liverpool would be an interesting option, Asensio can play on either wings and is creative, without the pressure of being at Real Madrid he could find his groove at Liverpool. Harvey Elliott has been sidelined and Asensio could be a good January pick up.
