25.12.2024 Real Madrid defender Asensio turned down the offer to Man City owners in the summer. They wanted to buy him for 6 million euros for Girona

Raul Asensio turned down the ownership of Man City because of his desire to play for Real Madrid. Last summer, the City Football Group, which owns Manchester City and other clubs around the world, made an offer to the 21-year-old footballer.
According to As, they wanted to buy Asensio for 6 million euros for Girona.
However, Raul refused and agreed to start the season for Real Madrid Castilla, despite the fact that he was part of the team during pre-season matches in the summer. He decided to wait for a chance in the first team.
In November, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, after a series of injuries, introduced the footballer into the main squad, and with him the team won three clean victories in a row in La Liga, and the Spaniard himself gave an assist in the debut match. Asensio also played against Liverpool (0:2) in the Champions League.
Earlier it became known that Real was going to offer Raul a new contract with a salary increase. The current agreement with a compensation of 50 million euros runs until the summer of 2026. Player statistics are on our website.
