Marco Asensio reveals reasons he wants out of Real Madrid

By -
Spanish attacker Marco Asensio has made it known to Los Blancos that he wants out of the club this summer and will depart as a free agent when his contract runs out next month.


Asensio was signed by Madrid from Mallorca in 2014 but only joined the club in 2016 after a couple of loan spells including at Espanyol where he won the LaLiga Breakthrough Player in 2015-16.

Since his arrival in Madrid, the 27-year old has been an important part of their achievements, and his fame started when he came off the bench to score against Juventus in the final of the 2017 Champions League.

He followed it up with two outrageous strikes, one in each of the Spanish Super Cup doubleheader with Barcelona the following season.

The season after that, Asensio scored in five different competitions for Real Madrid - UEFA Super Cup, Champions League, LaLiga, Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.

As much as he has won a lot of collective accolades with Madrid, the satisfaction of being one of the mainstay in the team is not there and the club does not assure him that even in the near future.

The likes of Vinicius Júnior, Rodrygo Goes and Federico Valverde are ahead of him in the pecking order while the club could also explore opportunities to add more firepower in the summer.

Aside his unsatisfying playtime, Asensio also prefers to play behind the striker but Carlo Ancelotti's 4-3-3 set-up does not give room for such.

With the European Championship coming up next summer, Asensio will be looking to play his way into the plans of Manager, Luis de la Fuente and waiting on scrappy minutes in Madrid will not help his chances.

Asensio has been linked with PSG and the Premier League and a move to the former will make him a direct replacement for Lionel Messi, who is expected to leave Paris this summer.

Ralf Rangnick proffered a permanent solution but United choose to make more casualties with Erik Ten Hag

Ralf Rangnick appeared to have unraveled the puzzle at Manchester United during his short stint as the club's interim manager but the hierarchy did not take heed to his priceless advice. Albeit the German did not enjoy the best of time in the helm of affairs in Old Trafford, Rangnick, who had proven to be more of a administrative minded man prior to his appointment at the club did left blueprints that could have healed the club completely. Looking back and you'll realize it could have been more worth it had speculations of him becoming the club's Director after leaving the Coaching role come to pass. Even in his early days as a professional football coach, Rangnick did not have a reputation of thriving when the stake is high but he flourishes more in an environment that gives him the avenue to build from scratch. The notion was proven truth during his time at Stuttgart, Hannover and even Schalke, where he helped all these teams finesse nightmares into glamour. His appointme

A sign of what is to come but no excuse for Chelsea's late capitulation in the London derby

By -

Chelsea ended a run of three straight home defeats to Arsenal in an enthralling London derby match in the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. While many will see it as a positive omen for the host, which is rightly so, it was very poor game management by both the players and the manager to allow the visitors snatch a point later on the night. Arsenal was there for the taking. It was the worst display by Mikel Arteta's side in recent years and despite having a two goal cushion, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to see out the win from a very comfortable position. Cole Palmer and Mykaylo Mudryk continue to show signs of finally settling into their rhythm under Mauricio Pochettino, much to the delight of the home support as the Blues were all over their rival from the North for the first 70 minutes in the Bridge. Both players also scored in either half, with Mykaylo Mudryk scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the Stamford Bridge with a wonderful cross-cum-shot, which caugh
