Marca reporter JOS F LIX D AZ news, Asensio's current contract expires in the summer of 2023, Real Madrid is hesitant to give the 26-year-old star a new contract.
Asensio has improved his form and efficiency this season, and so far he has contributed 8 goals and 1 assist in 25 games in all competitions, and it is precisely because of this that espanyol is currently in front of Eden Hazard, Bale, Jovic, Mariano, Isco and Rodrigo, in fact, Asensio has also participated in many strong dialogues this season, such as La Liga vs. Atletico, Super Cup vs. Barca and Copa del Rey vs. Biba, which shows Ancelotti's trust.
Marca pointed out that Real Madrid had actually made up their minds not to offer Asensio a new contract at the beginning of the season, but after seeing the winger's progress and status, they are considering talks with the player's agent, Giogli, of course, the parties have not yet made a final decision.
In addition to Asensio, the contracts of Benzema, Kroos, Nacho, Ceballos and Mariano will also expire in 2023, while the contracts of Isco, Bale and Marcelo expire this summer.
Barca have already started preparing for next season and they have set their sights on the free transfer market, with Frank Casey being one of the most striking players of all.
La Porta and Barca's technical arm looks to strengthen every position in the front, midfield and defence in the summer, and Haaland remains an important target for them, while in midfield, the Red and Blues have their eye on the 25-year-old Casey, who has performed top-notch in recent seasons, but whose contract expires this summer.
According to the transfer market's valuation, Casey is worth more than 45 million euros, which is a big burden for Barca at the moment, but a free transfer is another matter, Xavi very much needs to strengthen the midfield position, because Busquets is close to 34 years old, he can not always maintain the peak.
Of course, Casey is relatively more of a B2B midfielder, having scored six goals in all competitions this season, and Liverpool and Paris are also interested in the Ivorians.
Romano tweeted: Milan have confirmed to Sven Portman's agent that they intend to acquire the centre-back as a primary target this summer, so the direct talks between the two sides in Milan today (Thursday) have been very positive.
Newcastle have been pushing for the deal for months, but Milan want to sign Portman and they won't give up.
