“Marco is looking at things to see if he can leave,” the Italian manager said, quoted by AS.

“If he doesn’t leave, he will 100% be a Madrid player,” added Ancelotti, maintaining that he would get game time if that was the case.

Newcastle are said to have also expressed an interest in the player. Liverpool and Arsenal are also said to be monitoring the player's situation.

Asensio still has one year left on his present deal with the La Liga champions but Florentino Perez could be willing to cash in now rather than risk losing him for free next summer.
