U-Turn with Raúl Asencio as Everything Changed at Real Madrid: ‘Stalled’

Florentino Pérez has made a decision regarding the homegrown player that has surprised Real Madrid fans

Raúl Asencio's contract with Real Madrid ends in 2026, and his release clause of only 50M euros has caught the attention of all of Europe. However, it seems that at the merengue club there is no rush to secure his future, and it is even said that negotiations have stalled.

This has been discussed in the last few hours on Onda Cero, making it public that Raúl Asencio's renewal is on standby. Real Madrid will not address it until his legal situation is solved. Currently, he is being investigated for the alleged distribution of a minor's sexual video. 

Despite the fact that Real Madrid trusts the defender and his word, it is clear: until there is a judicial resolution, negotiations will not continue. Raúl Asencio feels supported by the club and considers it normal to want that security. He is confident that he will be declared innocent, and although he would like to have his future sealed now, he trusts that there will be no problems with his renewal.

Raúl Asencio: New contract until 2030

With a clause valued at 50M euros, and considering that the market is not open, Real Madrid is taking it easy. The club wants him to stay, and Raúl Asencio wants to stay, so there should be no problem.

The plan is clear: wait for a firm judicial resolution and then renew his contract. The idea is to extend his contract until 2030, with a higher salary than the current one and a clause reaching 1 billion euros.

Asencio wants to stay and is willing to wait. His priority is to spend his entire career at Real Madrid, the team of his dreams.

"Not everything depends on me"

Speaking about his renewal recently on "El Chiringuito", Raúl Asencio argued: "Not everything depends on me... My dream is to renew with Real Madrid and be here for many years".

Despite everything, he is clear that in 10 years he sees himself wearing the Madrid jersey, having no doubt about his continuity. He is delighted and hopes that his entire legal matter will be solved as soon as possible so he can live in peace. The only thing Raúl Asencio wants is to be happy playing soccer, and he hopes that time comes without other worries.
