Real Madrid want to offload homegrown defender this summer – report

Real Madrid’s recent loss to Bayern Munich and subsequent exit from the UEFA Champions League will have major ramifications.

There are already reports of the club’s hierarchy wanting to replace not just some key players in the dressing room but also on the operational front, with even Juni Calafat facing the heat.

As part of the expected overhaul, one of the players who is facing an uncertain future at the club is Raul Asencio.

Real Madrid want to get rid of Asencio

According to El Mundo, Real Madrid are ready to make big changes in the coming summer, and one of them would be to get rid of Asencio.

The defender had initially made a huge impression, with many hailing him as the lightning spark for the resurgence of La Fabrica talents breaking into the first team.

However, after that initial flurry, Asencio’s spark has faded and the player has turned into more of a utility man than anything else.
