The Spanish youngster is reportedly frustrated with the lack of first team action afforded to him and seeks a move in the summer.

President Florentino Perez has made it known in the past that Marco Asensio is considered the future of the club which might it more unlikely.

Asensio spent his youth at hometown club RCD Mallorca, making his first appearance for the senior side aged 17 in 2013.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona came calling for his services in 2014, with Los Blancos penning a deal for €3.9 million that saw him loaned back to Mallorca for the 2014/15 season.

The 22-year-old spent the 2015/16 season on loan with Espanyol before his breakthrough season for Real Madrid happened in 2016/17.
