Barcelona could be about to sign a Real Madrid player for the first time in 27 years as they are holding talks with Marco Asensio, according to reports in Spain.
The Catalans have always had a fierce rivalry with Los Blancos, which means there have rarely been transfers been the two clubs. Luis Figo's infamous move from Camp Nou to the Santiago Bernabeu back in 2000 caused huge headlines and served to highlight the hatred that exists between the Spanish giants.
Asensio, 27, could be about to go the other way as he weighs up his next move with his contract winding down. The player's pay demands are beyond what Real Madrid want to offer, which is likely to lead to his exit from the Bernabeu. The Spaniard has also teamed up with super-agent Jorge Mendes.
