Raul Asencio, one of Real Madrid’s breakout stars this season, has received a message of reassurance from club president Florentino Perez, despite ongoing rumors about potential new defensive signings in the upcoming summer transfer window.

During the course of the season, Asencio has emerged as a regular starter for the team, with his growth and improvement on the pitch garnering significant praise.

In fact, according to a report from Defensa Central, the club sees Asencio as a vital part of their future and is keen to keep him on board for many years to come.

Message of assurance

The young defender has certainly proven himself this season, stepping up in light of Real Madrid’s defensive challenges. His solid performances have made him an increasingly important figure in the squad.

However, recent speculation linking Real Madrid to top central defensive prospects, including Dean Huijsen, Willian Saliba, and Ibrahima Konate, has left Asencio questioning his place at the club.

With several rumors swirling, the 22-year-old defender understandably felt some uncertainty about his long-term future at the Bernabéu.

In response, Perez has reached out to Asencio with a clear and reassuring message:

“You’re going to become an even more important player. We have a lot of faith in you. You’re going to be a key player for Madrid for many years to come.”

This message is meant to strengthen Asencio’s confidence and remind him that the club has full trust in his abilities, despite the growing defensive competition.

The reassurance comes with the added promise of a contract renewal and a potential pay raise, underscoring Real Madrid’s commitment to securing his services for the foreseeable future.

Despite significant interest from several top European clubs, Asencio has no intentions of leaving the club. The young defender is living his dream, playing regularly for one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world.

While he is not demanding an automatic starting spot, Asencio is focused on continuing to work hard and earn his place in the squad.
