Report: Three Premier League Clubs Chasing Real Madrid Star
05 August, 2021
Three Premier League clubs are reportedly battling it out to sign Real Madrid star Marco Asensio, who is said to be on Los Blancos' transfer list.
Spanish outlet Marca has reported that Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti is ready offload a number of first-team players, including Asensio, as the club looks to raise funds for more signings.
With Asensio failing to hit the heights over the past couple seasons, the club is now seemingly looking to cash in on his services with two years left on his contract.
According to Fichajes, Premier League trio Everton, Leeds United and Leicester City are all looking at making a move for the Spanish midfielder.
It is further claimed that all three clubs are readying bids for Asensio as they look to bolster their respective squads for the 2021/2022 season.
The 25-year-old has racked up 37 goals and 22 assists in 193 appearances for the Spanish outfit since making his first-team debut in 2016.
Asensio is currently on international duty with the Spain U23 side at the Olympics, and scored the winner against Japan to set up a final against Brazil.
