This time, Chelsea also hunted down one of the Real Madrid midfielders, Marco Asensio. Reportedly it has spread that Real Madrid is ready to accept an offer for Asensio. Chelsea don't seem to waste this opportunity. They are ready to bid in the January 2019 transfer market.
In the last two years, Asensio's career has skyrocketed with Real Madrid. He has been vulnerable to being the first team for every game. Even many people judge, Asensio is the new Cristiano Ronaldo who will grow with real Madrid.
The performance of Asensio has long been monitored by big European clips. Asensio is considered to have the potential to become the world's best player. Therefore they do not hesitate to hunt for talented young players.
Reported by Don Balon, one of the English clubs really made me Asensio join with his team for the future. The reason was in anticipation of Hazard's departure from their squad. How about the news that has spread so far, Asensio will leave Chelsea.
The news has long spread, even in some media he has called it going to leave after the 2018 Russian World Cup. Although Hazard has changed his intentions, Chelsea must be ready and remain vigilant if Hazard will leave them at any time.
But some media also mentioned, the potential to get Asensio was minimal. The reason is, he told the media that he was still very happy playing for Real Madrid. Asensio hasn't been interested in anchoring another team. In fact, he mentioned he was quite happy to be part of the winning team three times in a row.
As we saw this season, as long as Ronaldo left, Asensio was more often a major player. Maybe it was also one of the strong reasons why he was reluctant to leave Real Madrid.
Real Madrid itself seems reluctant to sell Asensio, even some rumors circulating, real Madrid secretly reported they would extend the contract of the young player.
