Real Madrid will ask Marco Asensio for a definitive answer on his future plans early next week — with Arsenal and Manchester United ready to firm up their interest in the player.
Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed the attacking midfielder is looking to leave the Bernabeu and, once his side’s La Liga clash with Espanyol has been dealt with on Sunday, he wants Asensio’s situation fully wrapped up.
The 26-year-old has joined Jorge Mendes’s Gestifute agency and a representative is on standby to talk to the Gunners in London, with sources close to the player suggesting Arsenal are in the box seat to land him.
