Real Madrid has made official this Saturday the departure of Marco Asensio from the club with a statement published just a few minutes after the player announced his goodbye on social networks.

"Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and affection to Marco Asensio, a player who has defended our badge and our shirt for seven seasons. He arrived at Real Madrid with only 20 years and has managed to enter the history of our club as part of a team that has starred in one of our most successful times, "reads the statement released by the team.

"Marco Asensio has won 17 titles at Real Madrid: 3 European Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 3 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups. The madridistas will never forget his career and his exemplary behavior during all this time. Real Madrid is and will always be his home, and he wishes him and his whole family good luck in this new stage."

For his part, the player has published on his social networks a video where he has made official his decision not to accept the proposal of renewal of the white club and close a stage of seven years to start another.

"Dear madridistas, I address you with a lump in my throat and my heart full of mixed feelings," Asensio said on his social networks. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to Real Madrid."

His departure opens the door to Kubo and Brahim

His representative, Jorge Mendes, and the club's general director, José Ángel Sánchez, had been in talks since December. Madrid had presented him with an offer that improved his current contract, but relegated him to a substitute role with which the Mallorcan, at 27 years old, was not entirely satisfied. Asensio had received proposals from the Premier League and PSG, and will assess his options in the coming weeks.

His departure opens the door to Kubo and Brahim, who had to leave the Bernabeu during the last years when they did not find space, but whom Real Madrid has kept on the radar.
