22-Year-Old Academy Graduate Turns Heads with Stellar Performances, but Real Madrid Plan to Secure His Future
Raul Asencio, a 22-year-old product of Real Madrid’s famed La Fabrica academy, has rapidly emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in European football. Just a few months ago, the midfielder was relatively unknown, but his commanding performances against top-tier opponents like Liverpool and Manchester City have catapulted him into the spotlight, earning him a regular spot in Real Madrid’s starting lineup.
Despite still being on a Castilla contract, Asencio has taken significant strides toward becoming a first-team mainstay for Los Blancos. His rapid rise has not gone unnoticed, with several European clubs, including French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), expressing interest in the young star. According to journalist Jorge C Picon, multiple teams have contacted both Asencio’s representatives and Real Madrid directly to explore potential loan deals or even permanent transfers.
PSG, in particular, have been closely monitoring Asencio’s progress and reportedly made an approach to gauge his availability. However, Real Madrid have made it clear they have no intention of parting ways with the midfielder. The club views Asencio as a key figure for both the present and future and has pointed interested parties to his €50 million release clause, effectively shutting down any negotiations.
From Asencio’s perspective, there is no desire to leave the Spanish capital. The young midfielder is relishing his opportunity to shine on the big stage and is focused on continuing his development within the club he has called home since his academy days.
Real Madrid also hold a significant advantage in securing Asencio’s long-term future. If he is officially registered as a first-team player, his contract will automatically extend by five years under pre-agreed terms—a standard clause for many Castilla graduates. However, the club plans to go a step further by offering him a new and improved deal at the end of the season. Talks are expected to include a potential doubling of his salary, reflecting his growing importance to the team.
Asencio’s rise is a testament to Real Madrid’s commitment to nurturing young talent, and his performances have provided a bright spot in a season filled with challenges. With European giants circling and Real Madrid determined to keep hold of their rising star, the coming months could see Asencio’s star shine even brighter as he continues to make his mark on the game.
