Negotiations broke down, confirmed departure, Real Madrid could not stay.
Rebuild the era
Predictably, these two seasons have been a period of great change for Real Madrid, this season behind Barca in league points, and the Champions League defeat by Manchester City is enough to prove that the team needs to speed up the rebuild.
But as things stand, Real Madrid's top management has not completed the signings for positions that need to be strengthened in one breath, midfielder Modric and Kroos have extended their contracts for another year, and central striker Benzema will also stay in the team.

Including the expiration of the contract, Nacho, Ceballos and Asensio are all targets of Real Madrid's contract extension, the main purpose of which is to delay the rebuild, and it also reflects that the Blancos really have no ambitions.
With a dream of the king, Ceballos is definitely willing to stay in the team, provided that Real Madrid is willing to give a contract extension, the negotiations between the two sides are very optimistic, and some media revealed that the player will extend his contract for 3 years without asking for a raise.
Nacho has been a bit cold in negotiations, with the Spanish centre-back having no problem with the treatment but hoping for more game time, a promise that Florentino and Carlo Ancelotti cannot give, and judging by his performances this season, Nacho is very important to the Blancos backline.
Asensio's future has already been determined, according to The Athletic's well-known Real Madrid correspondent Mario Cortegana, Marca newspaper well-known Real Madrid correspondent José Félix Díaz, Ace newspaper and Relevo reports, Real Madrid and Asensio's contract extension negotiations have broken down, the club's multiple extension offers have been rejected, in addition to the player has informed the dressing room about the departure, Ancelotti is disappointed that he could not complete the extension.
The former Real Madrid prince wants a salary of €6 million after tax, which the club believes he doesn't deserve given his competitive form.
If Rodrigo is healthy, Asensio is indeed costly to get an annual salary of 12 million as a substitute, and years of stumbling have left him with no potential to tap, and there is no offensive ability in the arena, so he can only abuse food in the league, and give up and lose a transfer income because the contract expires, which is very chicken.
AC Milan are currently interested in the transfer market, but this annual salary requirement is not affordable for the Italian giants, and Asensio is more likely to move to Premier League club Aston Villa.
Coach Emery has played an extremely bright lead in the middle of the firefight, and once became a strong contender for the top four in the league, although he suffered a wave of winless games at the end of the season, but he is still very likely to qualify for the Europa League.
