Real Madrid are prepared to part ways with RaUl Asencio this summer as the club continues reshaping the squad ahead of Jose Mourinho’s return.
According to Miguel Serrano, Asencio has slipped down the center-back pecking order following the arrival of Ibrahima Konaté, with another defensive signing still a possibility. As a result, Madrid believe the 23-year-old would struggle for regular first-team minutes next season.
The report states that Los Blancos are now open to sanctioning a loan move, but
only if the agreement includes a mandatory purchase option at the end of the 2026-27 campaign.
Real Madrid reportedly view such a deal as the best solution for all parties, allowing Asencio to play consistently while securing a future transfer fee.
For now, interest in the defender remains limited, which has prompted Madrid to soften their stance. An initial loan is expected to be more attractive to potential suitors than a permanent transfer.
Despite the lack of concrete offers, it would be a surprise if Asencio remained at the Santiago Bernabéu beyond this summer, with the club determined to create space in Mourinho’s squad and the defender needing regular football at this stage of his career.
