Raúl Asencio reportedly turned down several offers during the last summer transfer window. The Real Madrid centre-back is said to have attracted interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and a Turkish club with significant financial resources, before choosing to continue his career at his boyhood club.

Chelsea and Liverpool interested

Aged 23, Raúl Asencio was reportedly the subject of several approaches during the summer. Chelsea and Liverpool were reportedly among the English clubs interested in the Spanish defender, who was also approached by a Turkish side.

Despite these possibilities, the player reportedly favoured continuity at Real Madrid. Under contract with Los Merengues until 2031, he remains tied to the Madrid club for the long term.

A complicated situation under José Mourinho

The decision to remain in Madrid nevertheless comes in a delicate context for Asencio. Since José Mourinho took charge, the defender has yet to play a match for the first team. This lack of playing time could weigh on his thinking about the next stage of his career, particularly if his situation does not change in the coming weeks.

If the defender continues to be left out of the first team, the interested clubs could renew their efforts during the next transfer window. For now, Asencio remains under contract with Real Madrid until 2031, but his sporting situation could become a decisive factor in the coming months.
