This season has highlighted the potential of central defender Raúl Asensio, who has been showcasing his talents for Real Madrid. The club is now eager to secure his future with an extended contract.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is preparing a new deal for the 21-year-old center-back. The club is reportedly very pleased with his performances. Asensio's current contract runs until June 2026, but the new agreement is expected to include an increased salary. The duration of the proposed contract, however, remains unknown.
Recently, it was reported that Real Madrid is navigating a challenging period, dealing with an injury crisis and inconsistent results. Despite these struggles, the club has no plans to re-sign Sergio Ramos, with concerns that the legendary defender could disrupt the dressing room dynamics.
Additional note: Jude Bellingham, who was substituted early in the second half against Getafe due to an injury, has since undergone medical examinations and is confirmed to be fit.
