Arsenal have contact £60M Spaniard about move to Emirates after green light given

ARSENAL have reportedly contacted Marco Asensio about a possible move to the Emirates at the end of the season.

Asensio joined Real Madrid from Real Mallorca in 2014 and has taken in over 250 appearances for the Blancos – scoring over 50 goals and collecting three La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns.

However – there has been alot of speculation about his future at the club and whether or not he is part of Carlo Ancelotti’s long-term plans – which has alerted a number of top level clubs.

The Spaniard has been used predominantly from the bench this season and has been in the starting lineup for just six of his 17 league appearances.

It is no secret that Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are massive fans of the man and have been linked with a move for the last few transfer windows – and it was believed that they would get a chance to sign the Spaniard at the end of the season.

Now – reports on the Football Insider website have claimed that the Gunners have been in contact with the Spaniard about a possible move to the Emirates at the end of the current season.

Carlo Ancelotti recently admitted he doesn’t “care much” if Asensio stays –

“He looks good to me, so I don’t know if he stays or not. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. I don’t care much.

“We have some important challenges this season. The most important thing is that he contributes like last year. Let him continue as he is doing now. Then the club makes the most appropriate decision in the end.”
