PSG has decided to make the bet to relaunch Marco Asensio, a former great hope of Spanish football and above all a substitute for Real Madrid. But the capital club is alerted to the attacker’s nightlife.

There is nothing signed, but Marco Asensio has made his choice and is heading to Paris SG. At the end of the contract at Real Madrid, the 27-year-old striker is nevertheless coming out of one of the best seasons of his career, with in particular 12 goals and 8 assists in 50 games played. But the figures are misleading and the player trained in Mallorca has almost never had the right to start in big games, contenting himself with a lot of playing time when Carlo Ancelotti gave his attacking stars a breather, or at the end of season in which Real Madrid had much less to play for. Nevertheless, his status as a multiple winner of the Champions League made England salivate, and in particular Aston Villa who pushed hard to get him. But the Spaniard intends to have a role to play in an ambitious club in Europe, and his choice fell on PSG.

PSG convinced by Jorge Mendes

With an agent like Jorge Mendes, contact with Luis Campos was easy, and discussions quickly evolved on a long-term contract, for a salary approaching 10 million euros. It remains to be seen if Marco Asensio will be able to change dimension, and become a major player in the Parisian attack, or if he will have the same role as at Real Madrid, namely that of a luxury joker. It will depend on the future PSG manager, who has yet to be found. But also of him, who sometimes decided to move away from football when things were not going well. In Madrid, his festive side has often been denounced, and that is why Daniel Riolo believes that such recruitment is really not the idea of ​​the century for Paris SG.

We have a player who is also often injured, and who, if he is not watched very, very closely, he will be the nouba in all the Parisian nightclubs. On his CV, it’s still that. If Neymar and Verratti stay, then it’s complete. He was a young man destined for an extraordinary destiny, he lost his health in nightclubs in Madrid, he didn’t stop. With all the possibilities there are here”, launched the After polemicist on RMC, which necessarily puts Marco Verratti and Neymar in the sauce with this release. A version that will certainly not make the fans jump for joy, who know that Marco Asensio is not an apostle of defensive work and collective play either, but can sometimes achieve a few brilliant shots. Nevertheless, Luis Campos certainly has his own idea on the matter, especially since Luis Enrique has already used, with the Spanish selection, the Real Madrid player in a leading attacking position according to his needs.
