Marco Asensio can move from “Real” to “Barcelona”.

Asensio’s contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of this season, his future is uncertain and Barcelona could take advantage of this after he changed his coach, writes the Daily Mail.

A few months ago, the striker left his former agent Horacio Gajoli to sign the famous Jorge Mendes.

Despite having many connections in the Premier League, Mendes has been linked with FC Barcelona and through that link the La Liga leaders and Asensio have held talks over a possible move to the Camp Nou.

However, the Spanish player also did not rule out the possibility of staying at the Bernabeu after Real offered him a new deal.

Marco Asensio arrived at Madrid in 2014 and scored 29 goals in 172 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
