In September, Barcelona showed interest in him. And when a journalist from COPE asked him if he wanted a move to the Catalan side?
He responded;
“I honestly don’t know. Like Barca, many have come out. I am focused on the present and giving everything with the national team and with my club. I have not valued it nor have I thought about it. I can’t give you an answer.”
He further added,
“This morning I had 200 messages. I am in a world where there are many rumors. It’s normal because in January I can sign with any club and more will come out. We are in that circle that I cannot control.”

Later, Asensio expressed his desire and made it clear that he wants to stay in Madrid. Marca and Relevo has confirmed it. Now, the ball is in Real Madrid’s court. There are a number of players at the Merengues whose contracts expire in June and it would be very Interesting to see, who gets the contract renewal offer.
