Marco Asensio might ply his trade for Paris Saint-Germain next season, with the two parties advancing discussions over a Bosman move.
According to a report by ESPN, Marco Asensio might not be at Real Madrid for much longer. The Spanish international will likely leave Los Blancos as a free agent in the summer transfer window. And he is in advanced talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a Bosman move.
Marco Asensio has reached a crucial juncture in his career. The 27-year-old needs to decide where he will spend the peak years of his stuttering playing days. That is because he is in the final weeks of his contract with Real Madrid, with the agreement over a new deal nowhere in sight.
The Spaniard has been in fine form this season, making his mark whenever the opportunities have presented themselves. And a tally of 12 goals and eight assists in less than 2,000 minutes of game time is impressive. But Asensio’s situation at Real Madrid has captured the attention of PSG.
At PSG, the futures of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar are uncertain. And widespread reports have linked Mbappe with Real Madrid, albeit over a move in 2024. Meanwhile, Messi will likely leave as a free agent in the summer transfer window, with Barcelona keen on re-signing him. A move to Saudi Arabia is also possible for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Neymar.

As for Neymar, PSG will look to cash in on the Brazilian international this summer. And several high-profile clubs have shown interest in the 31-year-old. But the uncertain futures of the three attacking stalwarts means Les Parisiens need at least one offensive reinforcement this summer. And Asensio has emerged as a viable target for PSG.
The report claims that the Real Madrid attacker and PSG have advanced talks over a Bosman move. And ESPN have added that the 27-year-old is ready to leave Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. But PSG might face stiff competition from several other clubs, with Aston Villa and AC Milan also interested in him.
