In August 2026, Liverpool Football Club reportedly approached Real Madrid regarding a potential summer transfer for 23-year-old defender Raul Asencio. While Real Madrid was open to a sale and manager Jose Mourinho did not envision a long-term role for the player, Asencio had expressed no desire to leave the Spanish club.

By September 2026, Asencio faced significant legal and disciplinary issues. He was sentenced to a €14,400 fine and an eight-month driving license suspension following a drink-driving conviction in Gran Canaria. Additionally, Asencio faced a trial in Las Palmas involving allegations of the unauthorized recording and distribution of sexual videos from 2023. While co-defendants—Ferran Ruiz, Juan Rodriguez, and Andres Garcia—received suspended prison sentences and bans from working with minors, Asencio was acquitted of the charges regarding the sharing of the sexually explicit video after prosecutors dropped the charges for the crime of revealing secrets.

Following his acquittal, Asencio expressed relief, noting the difficulty of facing public opinion and media reports before the legal process concluded. However, Real Madrid has since issued him a €100,000 fine following internal disciplinary proceedings. The club determined that his driving infraction, committed late at night, damaged the institution’s image. Despite this sanction, Asencio has returned to training and has been called up to the squad by manager Jose Mourinho for the upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano.
