Who are the core players of real madrid's next generation? Asensio had high hopes, but a serious injury brought his value to a cliff-like plunge. Spanish media revealed that serie A duo AC Milan and Juventus both want to get Asensio at a low price, and compared with the peak, the value of the little prince of Real Madrid has fallen by 50 million euros.
Asensio joined Real Madrid from Mallorca in the summer of 2015, and he was pinned high hopes on him, even being regarded as the "little prince of Real Madrid" and "the core of the future of the Galaxy". During his six years at Real Madrid, Asensio's experience was divided into two phases. Prior to the knee injury, Asensio was seen as La Liga's most promising attacking genius, with a maximum value of €90 million in the Transfer Market's valuation system. After the injury, Asensio's value plummeted, and now he has only 40 million euros left.
So far this season, Asensio has played for Real Madrid 20 times in all competitions, delivering six goals and one assist. Although his performance has improved, he is now only a rotating player, and this positioning has made Asensio unhappy. Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid's young prince Ming Xia may choose to leave the team, and the two traditional Serie A giants are currently most interested in it - AC Milan and Juventus.
AC Milan is undergoing a period of revival, and the Rossoneri are currently ranked 2nd in the Serie A table, which is not only very likely to lock in a Champions League seat, but is even expected to impact the title. In the next stage, AC Milan will be in an upward period, which is a factor that Asensio values. For Milan, there is a lack of midfield attackers like Asensio in the squad at the moment, so it would be a perfect deal to buy at a low price. As for Juve, their interest in Asensio has a long history. Juve's record is not satisfactory now, and they also hope that Asensio's arrival will lead the team back to the top of Serie A.
Asensio's contract with Real Madrid expires in the summer of 2023, and if it is determined that the contract will not be renewed, then this summer will be the best time to sell. It is worth noting that Real Madrid has already regarded superstars such as Mbappe and Haaland as a target for reinforcements. In this case, they also urgently need to clean up redundant personnel to return funds, which makes Asensio's transfer more likely. However, the Serie A duo is only willing to give 35 million euros at most, will Real Madrid agree?
