With his importance waning in the first team, Real Madrid want Asencio to leave the club in the coming summer.
Despite his recent struggles, Real Madrid are perhaps aware that the Spaniard may still fetch a sizable sum in the transfer market, having already attracted interest from several clubs across Europe.
