Luis Enrique doesn’t take it lightly. The Asturian demonstrated this again last week at a press conference. Asked about Marco Asensio (28 years old), the former coach of the Spanish national team was blunt. “As always, my decisions speak louder than me. I can make a response and make something up but that’s not my style. My decisions speak better and say what I think to each player at each moment. I make my decisions based on what I see in matches and in training. The players don’t always agree, but that’s my role. And I always say that my decisions are not irreversible.
If nothing is yet lost officially according to his statements, unofficially, the message seems rather clear for Asensio. The former Real Madrid player is invited to look elsewhere this winter 2025. However, “Lucho” often counted on him during the first months of competition. Aligned as a false number 9, the Spanish international, a real Swiss army knife, was helpful. But the situation changed in the space of a few weeks. The return from injury of Gonçalo Ramos and the rise in power of Désiré Doué did not help the Iberian footballer. Thus, he was left on the bench during the last 6 meetings where he was present in the Parisian group.
La Liga wants to repatriate Marco Asensio
His last appearance dates back to December 6 against AJ Auxerre in Ligue 1. That day, he spent only 11 minutes on the field. His last start dates from November 22 against Toulouse. Having fallen out of favor in the space of a few weeks, Marco Asensio is now looking for a new base, to relaunch his career and regularly find playing time. Juventus, as revealed by us, and Aston Villa have looked into his case this winter. But it is especially at home, on the other side of the Pyrenees, that his rating is at its highest. A few days ago, Estadio Deportivo revealed that Real Sociedad are monitoring his situation closely and will go on the offensive if the door opens. She totally is now.
SuperDeporte confirms this Thursday that Real is indeed on the move. But it is not the only club in the ranks in La Liga. SD reveals that Real Betis Balompié, Mallorca and Villarreal are also on board to try to repatriate Marco Asensio. Mallorca, where he was partly trained and where he made his professional debut, could be an attractive option. Especially since the club is in sixth place in the La Liga standings. But his other contenders also have solid arguments. The native of Palma de Mallorca is spoiled for choice, he who seems to be moving away from the French capital. Unless Luis Enrique and PSG finally decide to retain him…
