Barcelona offered the services of Real Madrid winger by super agent
According to Anton Meana on Cadena SER, Jorge Mendes, the agent of Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio, has offered the 27-year-old’s services to FC Barcelona ahead of the summer transfer window.
Asensio is a player that has been linked with Barcelona for a long time now. The Spaniard had been on the radars of the Catalan outfit before his move to Real Madrid. Of late, given his contract situation, the Blaugrana have been closely following his situation at the Bernabeu.
Asensio’s current contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the season. While the reigning champions of Spain and Europe have tabled a fresh proposal, it is not to the liking of the 27-year-old winger, due to which Mendes has been offering his services to clubs.
And, Barcelona are among the teams who have been provided with the opportunity of signing Asensio on a Bosman deal in the summer.
According to reports in the recent past, the former RCD Mallorca starlet is a player that is well-liked and admired by the Blaugrana coaching staff.
However, at the moment they have other priorities on hand when it comes to the summer window.
For starters, Barcelona are looking to register the new contracts of the likes of Ronald Araujo, Marcos Alonso, Gavi, and Sergi Roberto as a priority before thinking about new signings.
On top of that, the Blaugrana will focus their efforts on signing a new right-back and a new striker, with options for each position already being identified.
Asensio is seen as a good market opportunity at Camp Nou, and with Mendes once again offering him to the club, a move could be considered if there is room with Financial Fair Play margin after taking care of the priority operations.
