For several weeks, Raúl Asencio has been unanimous at Real Madrid. The young Castilla player was thrust into the role of starting central defender following Eder Militão’s new serious injury. This confidence is reflected in his performances on the field. It is also these which convinced the management of Real Madrid. Indeed, Marca reports that a contract extension for the 21-year-old is under consideration.
Negotiations between the player’s clan and the Madrid board will take place at the end of the season. Asencio’s current contract expires in 2026. Since the start of the season, the number 35 has played 330 minutes with Carlo Ancelotti’s side. Last November 9 against Osasuna (4-0), after his entry following Militão’s knee injury, Raúl Asencio stood out with an assist on one of his first balls, for Jude Bellingham.
