Real raise release clause of Arsenal, Man Utd target to €150m
With Manchester United and Arsenal sniffing around him this summer and ready to offer him regular playing time, Real want to extend the 21-year-old, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Though his current release clause is set at €80 million, the Merengues want to almost double it to €150m.
Asensio scored 10 times in 38 appearances last season, but wasn’t a regular starter, leaving the second-teamer frustrated. Asensio’s agent has been travelling, preventing him from sealing the deal.
The midfielder is set to sign a new deal that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu for another five years.
Zinedine Zidane recently stated that he considered Asensio to be a key part of his plans, and this seems to confirm this.
Will this be enough to keep the Premier League away from him?
