More than a match. Tonight, Marco Asensio (29) will live a special evening. A few months ago, the Spanish international wore the Paris Saint-Germain jersey. A club to which he officially belongs always until June 30, 2026. But it is difficult to imagine going to the end of his lease. Since January, the former Real Madrid has been carrying the colors of Aston Villa, where he is loaned without an option to buy. But the Birmingham club is already won over by Asensio and would like to keep it definitively. The arrival of the villans at the Parc des Princes this Wednesday in the Champions League will be an opportunity for English and Parisian leaders to discuss its case.
Asensio wants it to Luis Enrique
Especially since several clubs are ready to welcome the player author of 8 goals and 1 assist in 11 appearances in all competitions under the orders of Unai Emery. A coach who understood it. You can't really say so many Luis Enrique. It was however he who pushed for the signing in Paris of Marco Asensio, which he also convinced by assuring him that he would be a centerpiece of his project, as recalled Reader This Wednesday. But little by little, the Asturian, who notably used it in false number 9, left aside the Iberian player. He even opened the door to him during the 2025 winter transfer window, after half of the season during which he scored 2 goals and delivered 4 assists in 16 appearances in all competitions.
More than the desire to separate from him, the player especially did not understand what were the reasons for this decision. And even today, he still doesn't know it. Reader explains that after a first season without major problems, everything has changed this year. The relationship between Luis Enrique and Marco Asensio is frozen without happening something serious with each other. The Spanish media specifies that Lucho simply stopped counting on the player, who declined in the hierarchy, without explaining to him why. A silence has settled as you go.
Lucho praises the former from Real Madrid
“There was no explanation, clarification or discussion in which Asensio was informed of the reasons why he did not play. The footballer, who did not understand why he had been shown as much confidence to sign him and that he was then ostracized, therefore asked to leave ”writing Readerwhich evokes a “Revenge”,, “Accounts to be set” And “A vendetta against Luis Enrique to prove to him that he is wrong.” As we understood, Marco Asensio did not digest his treatment at PSG and he always has a tooth against Luis Enrique. The latter does not experience the same feelings as the footballer.
Asked about him yesterday at a press conference, the PSG coach said: “I am delighted that he can play. He had no playing time here, he had this option in Birmingham. I know him much better than you. I shared a lot in selection, he is a very important player for me. This season, he was important at the start of the season, he is a very high level player, who has won a lot of trophies, who has a very high level technical quality, there is no doubt about it. ” Hopefully for PSG that Marco Asensio does not display it this evening at the Parc des Princes. A stadium that was his garden a few months ago and where he wants to settle his accounts in the best way.
