However, Asensio’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires at the end of this season – and now Ancelotti has opened up and admitted that he doesn’t know if the midfielder will be staying at the club in the next transfer window.

“He looks good to me, so I don’t know if he stays or not,” said Ancelotti.

“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.”
