Real Madrid set to open contract talks with 21-year-old star in the summer | OneFootball

Real Madrid are taking a clear and strategic approach to the future of Raul Asencio as recent reports from MARCA reveal that the club has informed him and his representatives that discussions regarding a contract renewal will take place in the summer.

This news follows the player’s rapid development, which has led to growing interest from other top clubs. However, there is no immediate threat to Asencio’s future at Real Madrid.

Despite his breakout performances, the club is confident that they have him under control. Asencio’s current contract runs until June 2026, with a release clause set at €50 million, a significant sum that protects him from being snapped up too easily by rivals.

This clause gives Real Madrid the flexibility to negotiate his renewal at a time that suits them, and the player’s future seems secure for now.

The club has made it clear that they see him as a key player for the future, with the intention to incorporate him more into the first-team squad. His status at the club is expected to be reflected in the new terms of his contract.

Madrid’s decision to hold off on immediate contract negotiations demonstrates their confidence in keeping him focused on his development at the club.

Asencio is committed to Real Madrid

The 21-year-old has shown no interest in leaving, as evidenced by his decision to reject an offer from the City Football Group during the summer. His commitment to succeeding at Real Madrid is unwavering, and this is a crucial factor in the club’s plans moving forward.

Despite continued interest from other top clubs, who were eyeing a potential move for him in January, Real Madrid’s firm stance and clear intentions have put an end to those speculations.

Asencio’s focus is now entirely on the present, where he aims to make the most of his opportunities and continue impressing Carlo Ancelotti. With Madrid’s long-term plans firmly in place, Asencio’s future looks bright at the club.
