Arsenal target Marcos Asensio looks to have finally made a decision on his long-term future at Real Madrid after being heavily linked with a move to north London. The Spanish winger sees his contract expire at the end of the 2022/23 season with extension talks taking place since the early months of the year.
A breakthrough in those talks now looks to have been made, with The Athletic reporting that it is expected Asensio will sign a new deal at Santiago Bernabeu. Their report notes that a source close to negotiations has said: “We will come to an agreement."
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is said to have played a major role convincing senior figures at Madrid to keep Asensio beyond this summer. The Gunners had been one of the many clubs keeping tabs on the 27-year-old, with talks not taking major steps forward until now.
