Galatasaray eyes player not in Jose Mourinho's plans

It has been claimed that Jose Mourinho, who was brought back as the head coach of Real Madrid, does not include young defender Raul Asencio in his plans for the new season. According to reports in the Spanish press, Mourinho's decision has been conveyed to both the player and his agent.

Due to Asencio's inability to find a place in the squad, his departure from Real Madrid has come to the agenda in the coming days. The club is considering both loan and permanent transfer options for the 23-year-old center-back. It is stated that Real Madrid has to offload some players following new signings, and Asencio is on that list.

Galatasaray has emerged as one of the teams interested in the young footballer's transfer. On the other hand, it is reported that Lazio is also investigating the conditions for the Spanish player. It is stated that there is a search for a club that can cover Asencio's salary and offer him playing time.

Raul Asencio, who appeared in 34 matches for Real Madrid last season, contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in addition to his defensive duties. The center-back, whose current market value is shown as 20 million Euros, has a contract with the Spanish team that runs until 2031.

As transfer negotiations continue, it remains a matter of curiosity which team Asencio will continue his career with in the new season.
