It's over, Real Madrid makes a final decision on Raúl Asencio: top-level offer from...

His contract has been renewed, but his legal trouble could change everything and Florentino is already initiating his departure

Raúl Asencio has a serious problem. In the last few hours, the Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that they are seeking two and a half years in prison for the youth player from Real Madrid. He is being charged with two crimes against the privacy of the two girls who participated in a consensual sexual encounter. He is also being charged with distribution of child pornography, as one of them was a minor at the time.

Not only that, but the minor's defense is seeking four years in prison for Asencio, complicating his situation at Real Madrid. The Canary Islander didn't participate in the sexual encounter in which three other Madrid youth players were involved, who quickly left the club. The case of the center-back isn't linked to theirs, as he requested the video to show it to a friend and then deleted it.

Nevertheless, the Prosecutor's Office keeps that this conduct can't go unpunished, and deserves criminal reproach.

Complicated situation at Real Madrid

Given the current circumstances, Raúl Asencio's future at Real Madrid is in serious jeopardy. This is a serious case that the white club, just as with the other three youth players who were involved, doesn't want to be associated with. If he ends up being found guilty, what Florentino is clear about is that he won't be able to stay at Santiago Bernabéu for even one more minute.

Madrid-Barcelona has learned that, in his contract renewed until 2031, there is a unilateral clause by which it could be terminated if he is found guilty of the acts attributed to him.

No one expected that, in the last few hours, an unexpected interest would now be discovered...

New team for Raúl Asencio

On journalist Rubén Martín's Twitch channel, Carlos Carpio, deputy director of Marca, has spoken. He surprised everyone by revealing the strong interest from Saudi Arabia in signing the youth player from Real Madrid.

"It's Saudi Arabia that could tempt Raúl Asencio. They've shown interest in him, but showing interest is one thing and making an offer is another," Carpio said.

At this time, the idea is still to keep Raúl Asencio until he is declared guilty, if that ends up being the case. However, the reality is that the situation has become much more complicated for the youth player from Real Madrid, who is starting to attract interest if he ends up leaving Santiago Bernabéu.
