Raúl Asencio sees his future becoming more and more clear at Real Madrid, where he now hopes to establish himself permanently in the defensive rotation. The player trained at the club, under contract until 2031, had a contrasting season marked by several major injuries and a slump, before regaining playing time at the end of the year. Despite these obstacles, his profile continues to appeal internally, especially since the probable arrival of José Mourinho on the Madrid bench could strengthen his place in the squad.
According to the newspaper A.S.the central defender is particularly motivated by the idea of continuing the adventure under the Merengue colors and even displays a strong symbolic ambition: to recover the number 4 left vacant by David Alaba. A meaningful choice, as this jersey is historically associated with major figures of the club such as Sergio Ramos, the player’s idol. Appreciated for his aggressive style, his speed of anticipation and his quality of recovery, Raúl Asencio ticks several criteria sought by Mourinho, who would welcome his presence in the upcoming project.
