Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio is not interested in leaving the club this summer even though he’s aware that Madrid could explore the market for him, according to a report published on AS. Asencio thinks he will have a decent opportunity to play quality minutes next season and will try to prove his worth during the next few games, per that same report.
Real Madrid face uncertainty when it comes to their defensive line. Alaba is set to leave the club as a free agent and while Rüdiger could ultimately sign an extension, both the German center-back and Militao are injury-prone, which means that Huijsen and Asencio will be relied upon next year.
If Los Blancos decide not to sign a central defender this summer, Asencio could end up playing relevant minutes.
