Aston Villa wait to hear from Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio after submitting a contract offer to the 27-year-old as Unai Emery looks to lure the three-times Champions League winner to the Premier League
Aston Villa are waiting to hear from Marco Asensio on whether the Real Madrid winger is interested in joining them in the summer transfer window.
Asensio has options from around Europe, however, Villa are keen to try and land the three-times Champions League winner in what would be a statement signing for the club.
First-team manager Unai Emery is keen to add star quality to his attack during the off-season after finishing in a promising seventh position in the Premier League standings during his first season in charge.
Asensio could look to the riches of the Premier League but would have to accept swapping the Champions League for the Europa Conference League next season.
Asensio also has offers from French giants Paris St Germain and Italian outfit AC Milan, but is considering all available options as he waits to decide on his future.
The 27-year-old is represented by super agent Jorge Mendes who also manages the careers of Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva, and Diogo Jota.
Mendes’ relationship with Premier League clubs could strengthen Villa’s approach for the Spaniard who has dropped down the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 27-year-old has apparently been angered by his lack of game-time at Real Madrid this season where he has managed just 15 out of 36 LaLiga matches.
