French media footmercato reported that Marco Asensio returned from Aston Villa on loan, but would not stay at Paris Saint-Germain. Currently, a European giant is preparing to rescue him from his predicament.
In yesterday's FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals, Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the home team at Princes Park Stadium also needs to handle many matters in the summer transfer market, including the return of several loan players. One of them is Asensio, 29. Last winter, the former Real Madrid player was loaned to Aston Villa, where he made a total of 21 appearances, scored eight goals and contributed one assist. Asensio ended his loan contract on June 30 without a buyout clause, which means he and several other loan players return to their respective parent teams like Rashford and Di Sasi.
Apparently, Asensio was not selected to participate in the roster of the Club World Cup held in the United States. The Spanish international is preparing for a new place to go, as he is not in the plans of Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain. In view of his performance during his loan period, Paris Saint-Germain hopes to sell him for about 20 million euros.
Several clubs have expressed interest in Asensio, including Fenerbahce, and head coach Mourinho is very eager to get the player. According to El Chiringuito, the Turkish club has made a €15 million offer, which FotoMaç has confirmed, adding that negotiations between the three parties are still continuing.
In addition, Villarreal and Milan are also interested in Asensio. The latest addition to the competition is Inter Milan. According to Milan Sports, the Nerazzurri believes that Asensio's versatility is very suitable for the team, so he tried to introduce him for the third time. The newspaper estimates that 10 million to 12 million euros may be enough to convince Paris to release it, although its contract is in 2026 and its annual salary is about 8 million euros.
However, Paris may require higher transfer fees. However, Inter Milan is confident considering that the player's agent Jorge Mendes is also a representative of Dumfries, who is discussing potential transfers with Inter.
