Reports say that Newcastle United has offered Real Madrid €25 million to buy 26-year-old Spanish forward Marco Asensio
Fichajes, a Spanish news site, says that Newcastle United is doing more to sign Marco Asensio during the summer transfer window. Real Madrid will try to get €30 million for the 26-year-old forward. The Magpies have made an offer of €25 million to get him away from them.
Now that Marco Asensio is in the last year of his contract, his future at Real Madrid is suddenly uncertain. The Spanish international scored 12 goals in 42 games during the 2021–22 season, which made him Real Madrid’s third-highest scorer behind Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. He is now looking for a new place to play.
Asensio and Real Madrid can’t agree on the terms of a new contract, and recent reports say that Los Blancos won’t give him a deal. The Merengues are now ready to sell the 26-year-old player during the summer transfer window. Newcastle United is one of the teams that could be interested in him.
The Magpies are still putting together a new team during the summer transfer window, but they have already made some big moves. But they haven’t done anything about the attack yet, either by getting a new striker or a winger. This is a problem for Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe.
What’s next for Marco Asensio?
Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson are the only two reliable attackers that the Newcastle manager has right now. He needs a new right-winger and a striker to be competitive in the 2022/23 season. So, Asensio has become a realistic option for the Tyneside club, and recent reports say they have been in touch with Real Madrid forward.
Now, the Magpies are doing more to get the 26-year-old to play for them. They have made an offer of €25 million to sign him. But Newcastle’s offer is less than Real Madrid’s price of €30 million. This means that the two clubs will have to talk about a deal in the next few days.
Newcastle United is putting pressure on Real Madrid to sell Asensio for €25 million. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid gives in and agrees to the deal. For now, the Spanish forward, who is 26 years old, is getting close to leaving Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.
