Players moving from Real Madrid to Barcelona, or vice versa, is almost unthinkable. We have seen Luis Figo make the journey from Camp Nou to Santiago Bernabeu in the past, and we all know how that turned out for the Portuguese legend. It would be safe to say that he was not a popular figure amongst the fans of the Catalan giants.
This time around, a Real Madrid player is being linked with a move to Barcelona. And it looks like he is open to the idea of it too.
Marco Asensio has been at Real Madrid for a long time. But he has never managed to establish himself as the superstar that he was expected to be when breaking into the first-team. Instead, he has always been stuck playing the role of a squad player. And with his contract running out in the summer, it is unclear what the long-term future holds for the Spaniard.
As reported by SPORT, Asensio is willing to listen to Barcelona. But for now the club has not made a move.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Asensio. He certainly has a role in Real Madrid’s team right now. And rumours have suggested that the club are willing to hand him a new deal if the conditions suit them.
At the same time though, Asensio could probably play a more prominent role, if he changed clubs. He has had an up and down campaign for sure.
For a while, it looked like he had managed to play his way into Ancelotti’s plans. But, he appeared for only a few minutes in the game against Liverpool and was left on the bench as an unused substitute in the recent matches against Barcelona and Real Betis.
