In recent days, Real Madrid has made a crucial decision regarding the future of one of its young talents: center-back Asencio. With his breakthrough in the first team, the youth-team player has made it clear that his future at the club is assured. Real Madrid has reached an agreement with the player that guarantees his continuity for 50 million euros.
Asencio: the Promising Youngster Who Made an Impact on the First Team
Asencio, who made his first-team debut against Osasuna, has impressed both his teammates and the coaching staff. Since his arrival in the first team, he's shown that he has the level to compete at the highest level.
Ancelotti's trust in his talent was immediate, highlighting his quality both in defense and ball playing. "He was very good with the ball and well positioned without it," said Ancelotti after his performance against Getafe. The young defender has more than fulfillled his role, which has secured him a place in the squad for next season.
Madrid's Shield: Contract until 2026
Real Madrid hasn't only shown its trust in Asencio by including him in the first team, but strengthened the long-term bond with the player. The youth-team player has a contract until 2026 and a 50-million-euro release clause, which ensures his permanence at the club.
Despite the offers received last summer, Real Madrid decided not to loan Asencio, considering his great potential for the future of the club.
Asencio's Future
Although Asencio has a place in the future at Real Madrid, the club has decided to loan him to Athletic Club Bilbao for next season. The loan will allow Asencio to continue developing at a competitive club, without the pressure of playing in the first team at Real Madrid. Athletic, known for its commitment to players trained in its youth system, will offer Asencio the ideal environment for his growth.
A Bet on the Youth Division
With this move, Real Madrid also reaffirms its commitment to the youth system. Asencio is just the first of several youth players that the club is betting on for the future.
Players such as Joan Martínez, Jacobo Ramón and Diego Aguado are other promising players on whom the club is placing its hopes to strengthen its defense in the coming years. With the consolidation of Asencio, Madrid is strengthening its policy of incorporating young talents who can contribute to the first team in the near future.
