Asensio Turns Down Madrid for PSG Move

According to Melbet App Download, Real Madrid has clarified its priorities in the transfer market. With Jude Bellingham’s arrival nearly confirmed, the club is shifting focus to finding a successor—or at least a temporary solution—for Karim Benzema. In an ideal world, every plan would go smoothly, but as the saying goes, do your best with a clear conscience. Even if Madrid can’t secure a perfect replacement, they’re eager to bring in a forward who can deliver in the short term.

Alongside their search, Real Madrid had been engaged in contract renewal negotiations with Marco Asensio. However, those discussions did not yield the outcome Melbet App Download had hoped for. Asensio rejected the club’s offer, largely due to dissatisfaction with the proposed salary. Despite not being a guaranteed starter under Carlo Ancelotti this season, Asensio impressed with consistent performances and delivered crucial goals in key matches, earning praise from both fans and staff. Still, contract talks stalled over wages, with neither party willing to budge.

Rather than curse the darkness, light a candle and move forward. With negotiations collapsing, Asensio has confirmed he will leave Real Madrid as a free agent this summer. While his stats over seven years at the club may not be elite, they are certainly respectable. At 27, he is in his prime and understandably seeking a long-term contract that reflects both his age and value.

With Madrid unwilling to meet his expectations, a transfer makes sense. Fortunately for Asensio, top-tier clubs remain interested. Chief among them is Paris Saint-Germain, who appear the frontrunner to sign the Spanish international. Premier League clubs have also shown interest, but PSG is best positioned to meet both his financial and playing-time demands.

Melbet App Download reports that PSG is undergoing a significant roster overhaul during this rebuilding phase. A move to Paris would give Asensio a higher salary than he earned in Madrid, along with a more central tactical role and consistent starts—something he lacked in Spain. For the Spanish international, this move could represent a new chapter, even if leaving the Santiago Bernabéu wasn’t an easy choice. After all, life’s too short to carry regrets—especially when the next opportunity could be the one that defines a career.
