Marco Asensio, the 29-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder/forward under contract until 2026, has failed to fully establish himself under coach Luis Enrique. He was then loaned to Aston Villa for the second half of the 2024-2025 season, but was not retained by the English club. After his return, he is moving permanently to Fenerbahçe. This was made official today.
Paris Saint-Germain announces the transfer of Marco Asensio.
The 29-year-old Spanish striker has signed a permanent contract with Turkish club Fenerbahçe SK.
Paris Saint-Germain thanks Marco and wishes him every success in his new colors.”
Arriving at PSG in 2023 following the end of his contract at Real Madrid, Asensio has put in some great performances for PSG. But he failed to establish himself over the long term and keep pace with the team, which had reached impressive milestones. His arrival at Aston Villa gave hope for a fully revived career, before a certain slowdown.
Unsurprisingly, the Spaniard didn’t have a place in Paris upon his return, and a way out had to be found. Fenerbahçe is an interesting destination, with a great and ambitious team as well as a certain passion. We hope he takes advantage of this opportunity to return to the highest level and experience some great emotions.
For Parisians, his time there will remain a disappointment. But it remains minor, since there was no lack of respect. It was an attempt with the end of his contract at Real Madrid; ultimately, there was a significant sale. It’s also worth noting that the wage bill is decreasing, while at PSG he had an estimated salary of over €10 million per season. It’s always good to start the rest of the transfer window, with some expected arrivals.
