Real Madrid Turned Down €180m For Asensio - Agent Revealed

Real Madrid turned down a €180 million (£155m/$200m) offer for Marco Asensio, according to the midfielder’s agent Horacio Gaggioli.

Asensio has endured a disappointing campaign, starting just 20 of Madrid’s 42 La Liga and Champions League matches, which has led to speculation that he could leave at the end of the season.

Liverpool and Juventus are both rumoured to be interested in the Spain international, but his representative insisted neither the player nor the La Liga club are keen on a transfer.

“Over the last year there have been offers as high as €150m and €180m, but Madrid did not want to listen to them,” Gaggioli told ESPN. “There is always interest in Marco from other big clubs, seeing if he wanted to leave, which is normal for the player he is.
“But he always says that he is very happy with Madrid, is only interested in being a success there. He is still a young kid, improving all the time, and the club is very happy with him too.”
