Real Madrid have lost Casemiro to Manchester United and manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that Marco Asensio could be the next out the door.
Speaking at the UEFA Champions League draw, Ancelotti was asked about Asensio’s future.
“Marco is looking at things to see if he can leave,” the Italian admitted to Relevo.
Ancelotti habla en Movistar + sobre el futuro de Asensio, que tiene una oferta del Manchester United:

“If he doesn’t leave, he will 100% be a Madrid player,” added Ancelotti, maintaining that he would get game time if that was the case.
This comes off the back of the news that Manchester United are interested in Asensio and willing to pay €30m for him. They are one of a number of English and Italian clubs following him closely, also according to Relevo.
The 26-year-old has just a year left on his deal and despite Ancelotti’s desire to hold onto him, Real Madrid have shown they will be ruthless with their business if the finances make sense.
Its a fair deal. Asensio is a great player with a venomous thunder of a shot, all he needs is regular playing time. Regarding the 30mil, its ok, would like to see more but its his last contract year so I assume its decent. Some shrewd deals from the english club for once.
If Mutd sells Maguire to Chelsea I see them back in CL next season.
