While Real Madrid initially planned to strengthen their central defense during the next transfer window, the emergence of an internal solution could well redistribute the cards. Injuries, imminent departures like that of Jesús Vallejo, and an ever more demanding schedule had pushed the sports management to consider recruiting a new defensive pillar. However, Raul Asencio, young product of La Fábrica, seems to be changing the situation. With 576 minutes played this season under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti, the 22-year-old defender is gradually establishing himself as a credible alternative and, above all, at zero cost, as the daily states. AS.
Asencio, the unexpected rookie
Discreet, but determined, Asencio embodies the player profile that Real favors: hardworking, versatile and with a strong personality. His performances on the pitch and his impeccable attitude are attracting more and more within the club, who see in him a potential successor to Nacho Fernandez, as the newspaper adds. While clubs like Juventus or Arsenal remain on the lookout, the White House should do everything to validate its future in Spain. For Asencio, the objective is clear: to continue to progress and prove that he can become an essential cog in Madrid’s future.
