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.

Another Newcastle defeat means time to go BIG on Eddie Howe might be about right

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund; a pragmatic solution to Manchester United's needs despite likely consequences

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m

Victory for Nigeria at the CAF awards gala in Marrakech as Victor Osimhen and Asisat Oshoala won the major prizes on the night, making the country the first-ever to produce winners of both CAF Men's and Women's Best Players in the same year. Victor Osimhen crowned Africa's Best For the first time since Kanu Nwankwo 24 years ago, a Nigerian player has won the most prestigious individual accolade in African football with striker Victor Osimhen beating Mohamed Salah and Achraf Hakimi to the CAF Men's Player of the Year award. Osimhen, who enjoyed a sensational year with Napoli, delivering their first Scudetto in 33years and helping them to a first-ever quarter final place in the UEFA Champions League was always front-runner for the award, moreso after Riyad Mahrez failed to make the final three. Aside his conquests with Napoli, the 24-year-old striker was also unplayable in the AFCON qualifiers, scoring ten goals in six games and finishing as top scorer of the qualificatio
