Marco Asensio, Paris Saint-Germain’s 28-year-old midfielder/attacker under contract until 2026, is finding it difficult to fully establish himself in the capital, and the idea of a mercato departure is taking hold. PSG Inside Actus asserts this Wednesday that this is a real possibility, with some attractive suitors.
“After a mixed first half of the season, several European clubs are said to be interested in his services. It’s the player himself who’s asking questions, and a discussion with the coach will take place before the Christmas break…
Interested clubs:
𝑩𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒌𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒏: The German club appear to be in pole position to secure the services of the Spanish winger. Their need for a creative and experienced player could make Asensio an ideal recruit.
𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝑽𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂: The English club, looking for attacking reinforcements to solidify their position in the Premier League, have also shown interest.
𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒏: Although less likely, the Italian club are keeping an eye on Asensio’s situation, looking to strengthen their squad for European competitions.
𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂𝒕 𝒅’𝑨𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆, 𝑴𝑳𝑺 𝒆𝒕 𝒍𝒆 𝑱𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒏.”
Randal Kolo Muani (26-year-old striker) and Milan Skriniar (29-year-old defender) are the most talked-about candidates, with Asensio barely joining the list. But his departure does not seem impossible, given his recent playing time.
The information was published shortly before the match against RB Salzburg on Tuesday evening, and the Spaniard did not come on. Neither did Kolo Muani or Skriniar, for that matter. Mind you, that’s not enough to say they’re for sale.
But it’s conceivable that the club would listen to offers. All the more so for the last two, when Asensio has played a “real” role in the start of the season. The players could also be tempted to try and get more playing time. They could also put up a fight in Paris, knowing that they’re still a long way behind.
Let’s wait for the certainties, it’s likely that not all 3 of them will leave, let alone without PSG having a replacement. In a mercato where deals are even harder to come by, we’re still a long way from knowing what will or won’t materialize.
