Real Madrid looks for loan or sale of defender Raúl Asencio amid wage and offer deadlock

Real Madrid's sporting director is actively seeking a solution for central defender Raúl Asencio, who is not a priority for the upcoming season. The club reports a lack of external offers and a salary demand from the player that matches his current contract.

The club is studying a loan move with an option to purchase rather than a direct sale, hoping the loan would give Asencio regular playing time and possibly lead to a permanent transfer if his performances satisfy the borrowing club. The process is described as complex, with the player's stance not yet favoring any particular outcome.

According to journalist Miguel Serrano, “the central wants the salary offered by the new club to be the same as he receives now.” Real Madrid will continue to wait for a beneficial proposal that satisfies all parties.
