It has been reported that ARSENAL have reached out to Marco Asensio about a potential move to the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season. Asensio has been with Real Madrid since 2014, making over 250 appearances and scoring over 50 goals, while also winning three La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns. With speculation about his future at the club, a number of top clubs have been alerted. This season, he has been used mainly from the bench and has only started six of his 17 league games. Mikel Arteta and the Gunners have been linked with a move for the last few transfer windows and it appears they may get their chance. Reports on Football Insider have claimed that Arsenal have contacted the Spaniard about a possible move. Carlo Ancelotti recently said he doesn’t “care much” if Asensio stays, and if the midfielder does come onto the market, he will be a highly sought-after player. If Arsenal manage to sign him, it could be a great acquisition for the club.
The news that ARSENAL have contacted Real Madrid star Marco Asensio over a potential move to the Emirates Stadium could have massive ramifications on the future of the club. Asensio has been one of the mainstays of Madrid’s team since joining the club back in 2014, making 250 plus appearances and scoring over 50 goals during that time. An impressive trophy cabinet of three La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns is testament to his level of quality.
With Asensio reportedly being used mainly as a substitute this season, speculation has grown regarding his future at the Spanish giants. This has caused a number of high-profile clubs to stand up and take notice, and now it appears that ARSENAL have recently made contact with the 25-year-old.
A move to the Premier League would be a huge statement of intent for the Gunners, who have been linked with a move for the player for some time. Should Arsenal manage to secure his signature, the quality and potential he could bring to the team could be massive.
It remains to be seen what Asensio decides to do, but one thing is for sure; should he move to the Emirates, he would surely be a brilliant addition to Mikel Arteta’s side. With Carlo Ancelotti declaring recent he doesn’t “care much” about whether Asensio stays or not, it could be that ARSENAL are closer to signing him than some may think.
