However, despite tallying a career-high 10 LaLiga goals in the 2021-22 campaign, Asensio has been relegated to a bench role this season – with Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde getting the nod on either sides of Karim Benzema, Asensio will be a free agent next year if he is not offered a new contract.
With Asensio in the last year of his contract, Milan have been the team most closely linked with the Spanish international, until Calciomercato added that Newcastle have thrown their hat into the ring.
Despite soon being available on a free transfer, Asensio’s contract demands will likely rule out a number of high-profile interested parties, but with Newcastle’s new spending power and their inability to land some key targets, he should be well within their financial capabilities.
Asensio is tipped to represent Spain at the World Cup, with a report from AS claiming he hopes to earn a new Madrid contract with some impressive performances.
