Fresh transfer blow for Arsenal as their target wants a contract renewal instead
Arsenal’s pursuit of Marco Asensio has suffered a setback due to the player’s desire to remain at Real Madrid.
The attacker has entered the final year of his contract with Real Madrid and has been negotiating a new agreement with the club.
However, they have not made much progress, which has allowed Arsenal to maintain an interest in him.
As one of the most decorated attackers on the continent, Asensio is currently one of the most sought-after players, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future.
The attacker will have a multitude of clubs to pick from, but he has shattered his pursuers’ expectations by claiming he wants to stay with Madrid.
Recently, he stated, via The Sun, concerning his future: “Hopefully, the renewal can be done and I will be very happy at Real Madrid. Hopefully, it’s to stay for 10 more years here at Real. It’s not just me deciding — it’s also up to the club.”
Asensio is one of Europe’s best attackers and is performing well for Spain at the World Cup.
Arsenal are set to gain from his extensive experience in club football tournaments.
However, his words indicate that Edu must do greater effort to recruit him as a player.
