The Real Madrid star rejected a huge and tempting offer from Manchester City, despite the financial and sporting privileges and temptations that were offered to him.
The competition between Real Madrid and its rivals has intensified in recent years, both on and off the field, as both teams aim to lead Europe and the world in the coming years.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Marca”, Raul Asensio, a defender for Real Madrid’s youth team, rejected a huge offer from Manchester City after playing with the first team against Osasuna.
The newspaper added that Manchester City had been closely monitoring the player while he was in the Castilla team, and the player had earned the admiration of Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, who gave the green light to sign him.
The newspaper pointed out that the last Osasuna match caught Perez’s attention, highlighting the player’s great abilities, which made him insist on keeping Asensio with the team to help cover for the major absences in the defense line.
Raul Asensio believes that his opportunity to play and prove his abilities will be significant with the absence of Militao, Alba, and Carvajal due to injury.
The newspaper concluded by stating that Real Madrid is preparing a revised contract for Asensio, with a significant salary increase and a huge buyout clause, to block any clubs trying to sign him.
