A transfer hammer is imminent in La Liga for the summer of 2023: Marco Asensio will apparently join FC Barcelona.
With his contract at Real Madrid expiring after the current season, Marco Asensio can join a new club on a free transfer – the Spanish international, who is currently struggling at Los Blancos, is spoiled for choice.
Asensio had already been linked with a move to England or AC Milan in recent weeks, but according to the latest information from RAC1, FC Barcelona will be awarded the contract. The Spanish outlet reports that Asensio has already signed a preliminary contract with the Catalans; he will be committed to Xavi’s team until 2027.
Asensio would be the first player since 2007 to move directly between Real Madrid and Barça. However, it is doubtful whether his prospects of playing time in Barcelona would be much better than in Madrid. Finally, with Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, the Catalans have plenty of strong wingers in their squad.
