Real Madrid has rejected several offers of up to 180 million euros for Marco Asensio, without the club or the player in question having intended to accept them, said the official. Spanish club agent at ESPN FC.
Asensio, 23, has become one of the most exciting talents of Spanish football in recent seasons, having scored goals in the Champions League finals, European Super Cup and Supercopa Spanish, as well as several spectacular strikes.
A disappointing campaign for 2018-2019 has led to suggestions as to the possibility of leaving Madrid as part of a summer review with Liverpool and Juventus, who apparently would run the pursuit.
"In recent years, bids of up to 150 and 180 million euros have been proposed, but Madrid has not wanted to listen to them," Horacio Gaggioli told ESPN FC. . "There is always an interest for Marco in the other big clubs, namely if he wanted to leave, which is normal for the player he is.
"But he always says that he is very happy with Madrid, that he only wants success, he is still young, he is constantly improving and the club is very happy with him too."
Asensio has scored three goals in 33 Liga and Champions League matches this season. He was often marked by his former coach, Santiago Solari, who favored Vinicius Junior and Lucas Vazquez.
However, he has started five of La Liga's six games since Zinedine Zidane returned to the club as a coach last month. He is also one of the most used players by the boss of Spain, Luis Enrique.
Gaggioli, who also advises Barcelona's Lionel Messi, said that Asensio had been a victim of the team's underperformance during the season.
"This year it was hard for everyone in Madrid, it was a good year for anyone at the club," he said. "This can happen in football – the whole team has lost its level, not just Marco.
"Maybe Asensio was at the center of his concerns because he had already shown such a high level before, there was a lot of hope and that did not work out this year." But at the individual level, it is not easy if the team does not play well.
"No matter who you are, whether you are Lionel Messi or Diego Maradona, but Marco has played well with Spain and has become a regular at the senior international team.
"He is just thinking of next season and still wins with Real Madrid."
