Real Madrid is close to renewing its defender Raul Asensio, after the player succeeded in imposing himself on the starting lineup of coach Carlo Ancelotti this season, according to media reports.
Asensio, 22, was escalated from the reserve team “Castilla” to the first team to compensate for the absences in the defense line, but he quickly proven his worth and became one of the important elements in the formation of Meringue.
The current Spanish defender’s contract with Real Madrid extends until the summer of 2026, but the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that the club administration has come close to reaching an agreement with the player on a long -term contract, where the final details will be resolved within the next few weeks.
Romano pointed out that there is a common desire between the two parties to continue Asensio with the team for a longer period, especially after the distinguished levels he presented this season.
Asensio participated in 30 games in various competitions this season, where he made two goals but has not scored any goals yet.
With the approaching signing of the new contract, it appears that Real Madrid is seeking to maintain one of its most prominent defensive talents for the future.
