The summer transfer window might have just slam shut but things never stop at clubs the size of Real Madrid. Los Blancos already seem to have their eyes set on the future. And one player who is a topic of discussion at this moment is Marco Asensio. The Spaniard was expected to leave this summer but ended up staying.
Clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal were believed to hold an interest in Asensio while Real Madrid were rumoured to have been looking for a transfer fee around €30 million. Nothing transpired though.
As a result, Asensio is still a Real Madrid player for the time being but his current deal runs out at the end of the season.
As reported by TUTTOmercatoWEB (via Juvefc.com), Juventus has been offered a chance to sign Asensio. There are other teams around Europe who have also been offered the services of the Spaniard it seems.

When breaking through into the Real Madrid first-team early on in his career, Asensio had made an incredible impact and many expected him to develop into a superstar for Los Blancos.
Unfortunately, he has failed to take his game to the next level and hit those heights. In fact, one could argue that he has not even been able to maintain the levels he showed early on in his time in a Real Madrid shirt.
Thus, it seems like the right time for Asensio and Real Madrid to part ways. But at the same time, him walking out as a free agent will be a worry for Los Blancos.
Thus, it remains to be seen if they can find the Spaniard a new home in January, so that they can get a transfer fee out of his Santiago Bernabeu departure.
