Ase of Spades

Spanish playmaker keen on leaving the Santiago Bernabeu in order to pursue first-team opportunities elsewhere

MANCHESTER UNITED, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ready to battle it out for Real Madrid and Spain star Marco Asensio.

El Gol Digital claims the midfield ace wants to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer after failing to hold down a regular place in the side last season.

Real Madrid are also believed to be chasing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil ace Neymar.

That would mean even less chances for Asensio in the Los Blancos starting XI.

And he is now said to be lining up options to be explored when Spain’s time at the World Cup comes to an end.

Manchester United are rumoured to be interested, with Jose Mourinho constantly looking to bring Europe’s best and brightest to Old Trafford.

Likewise, big spenders PSG always sit up and take notice when a potential marquee signing becomes available.

But there is also said to be overtures from West London, with Chelsea said to be keeping tabs on Asensio’s situation.

The report adds that wantaway Blues star Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois believe Asensio could end up at Stamford Bridge this summer.

His presence at Cobham could be enough to persuade the pair to sign new contracts and put the exit rumours to bed.
