Eager to make the best possible moves in the next transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to strike a blow with the potential free arrival of Marco Asensio.
After recruiting several free players last season, the club from the French capital is on track to renew its strategy this summer. Since after Milan Skriniar, who could land to strengthen the central defense of PSG, it is Marco Asensio who is approaching PSG. At the end of the contract at Real Madrid, the Spanish international would have chosen to join Paris during the next transfer window. Also tracked by Aston Villa in the Premier League, the 27-year-old could sign a contract for four or five seasons with a salary of around ten million euros. A substantial sum for a player who was only a luxury understudy at Real. In any case, this is the opinion of Jérôme Rothen, for whom PSG made a new casting error with Asensio.
“The PSG recruitment method is not good”
🗣💬 @RothenJerome : “If Marco Asensio comes to PSG, he doesn’t come for the right reasons. Putting on the PSG or Chelsea shirt, he doesn’t care. Then 8 million euros a year…” #RMCLive pic.twitter.com/HSCb0aMmdP

“I like Asensio. At Real, he was barred by stronger. But if he comes to PSG, he does not come for the right reasons. Putting on the PSG or Chelsea jersey, he doesn’t care. Then 8 million euros per year for an additional player… Paris is a pigeon club. He’s a free player, so it’s normal to make efforts to attract him, but the player shouldn’t come just for the financial aspect. At the sporting level, not many big clubs knock on his door, and even less at this price… The PSG recruitment method is not good, it would take a different project. After, Asensio, it is not necessarily a bad recruitment on paper. But will he adapt to Paris with the right conditions to succeed? I don’t know… At this price, he’ll go take pictures at the Eiffel Tower, he’ll play a few games and get injured… I hope he’ll do better than Draxler, but it’s the same kind of recruitment “, launched the RMC consultant, who knows that Asensio has often been singled out for his lack of desire in Madrid. So what’s it going to be like at PSG, where most rookies often lose their true level over the months…
