Marco Asensio could have one foot out of the real Madrid. The white team is still waiting for the striker’s decision, who has a very tempting offer to join Manchester United. This was confirmed Carlo Anceloti, ‘merengue’ coach, at a press conference that took place this Saturday.

The Italian strategist made it clear that he will count on the Spaniard if his wish is to stay in Valdebebas until September 2, the date on which the transfer market closes, since he has been emphatic in saying that he has no plans to hire reinforcements; at least not as a replacement for the number ’11’.
If Marco leaves, we are not going to sign anyone
“I don’t know anything new. He is evaluating his position and we are waiting (…) We have a squad with many resources. If Marco leaves, we’re not going to sign anyone because we don’t need him.”Ancelotti mentioned.
“On September 2 everything will be clarified. Yes Asensio stays, he will be an important player in our squad. If you want to go, and there are good options for the club, it will be seen. If he stays I will be delighted as he brought us a lot last year,” he added.
Secondly, mentioned that midfielder Dani Ceballos has made the decision to stay in the ‘white house’ and hopes to give him more minutes this season because “he deserves it.”

Finally, he spoke of the performance of Croatian Luka Modric and regretted the departure of Casemiro, the Brazilian holding midfielder, who signed for Manchester United to lend a hand to the bad present of the English team.
“His career has had a lot of continuity. Always having a very high level. I think he can continue because I see him as fresh (Modric) and very motivated. I see him in every training session”, said the Italian.
“”It’s not just a technical problem, it’s also the good relationship we had. When Casemiro leaves you feel sorry and you get sad. Today he is going to start his new stage and we wish him the best,” he said.
