Newcastle United have kept a dignified silence after reports linking them with Real Madrid star Marco Asensio emerged from Spain.
United found themselves in the headlines in Spanish title AS last night with Liverpool also said to be interested in the 26-year-old. Asensio has not had a satisfactory contract offer from Real Madrid and his current deal expires in 2023.
His agent Horacio Gaggioli has been testing the water on interest from Premier League clubs and both Newcastle and Liverpool are said to have been offered the Palma-born player. Despite the reports from Spain we understand that United are yet to table an offer for the winger despite looking at stars in his position on the right-hand side.
