The discussions would also include the salary claimed by the player's entourage.

The “Special One” approach is not without logic. Loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of the 2024-2025 season, Asensio distinguished himself with eight goals and a decisive pass in 21 appearances. Despite a contractual situation still stable in Paris, the former Real Madrid seems to be looking for a new project where he would have more guarantees.
