Marco Asensio, Paris Saint-Germain’s 28-year-old midfielder/attacker under contract until 2026, is finding it hard to fully establish himself in the capital, and the idea of a mercato departure is taking hold. According to Le Parisien, the player’s entourage cannot understand why he has been sidelined in recent games. Although he will not be blacklisted like Randal Kolo Muani and Milan Skriniar, his future may lie far from Paris.
“Marco Asensio’s entourage is struggling to understand why he has been sidelined!
His situation is not set in stone, unlike that of Randal Kolo Muani and Milan Skriniar , but a departure cannot be ruled out.

Clearly, the player doesn’t understand, but everyone else does. Quite simply, he’s not up to scratch. He doesn’t score, he’s not decisive and he doesn’t add any value to the team.
It’s been a year and a half and he’s still on the sidelines, Luis Enrique having judged that he wasn’t up to the job at the moment. Now, he’s an important addition in the event of qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League. We know that the winter mercato won’t offer Paris many new recruits, so bringing out a large number of players may not be the solution.
