Randal Kolo Muani is not the only player shunned by Luis Enrique at PSG. Marco Asensio has also disappeared from the radar. The Spaniard will have to find a new club in the winter transfer window. It's off to a good start given its popularity among foreign clubs.
Some supporters accused Luis Enrique of favoring his compatriots, given the large number of matches played by Fabian Ruiz at PSG. However, this theory does not apply to Marco Asensio. Arriving from Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, the winger had a CV and potential to guide the Parisian attack. It hasn't happened and it's even worse in recent weeks. Asensio has not appeared on the pitch since PSG's draw at Auxerre on December 6. The former Madrid player no longer has a future in Paris and a departure in the transfer window is almost essential for the rest of his career.
Newcastle is very hot for Asensio
The rebound shouldn't be too difficult for Marco Asensio. According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, at least four clubs want to sign him in January. We have Juventus Turin, which will already recover the other banned Parisian Kolo Muani, Real Sociedad, Aston Villa and Newcastle. It's an event to see the Magpies on this issue as exchanges with the Parisians have been rare since their takeover.
It must be said that Newcastle is in the fold of the PIF (Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund). The Saudis are not on the same wavelength as the Qataris on a geopolitical level, being outright rivals on the economic level and even on the football planet. However, these differences will be put aside if PSG obtains a sufficiently large check from Newcastle to get rid of a manager who has become cumbersome.
