Asensio talks about potential Real Madrid departure

Asensio previewed the game but also discussed the rumors suggesting that he could be considering a departure from the Spanish capital.

“It’s too soon to be talking about leaving Real Madrid. As I said, I want to be on the pitch, work hard and have minutes. From then on, we’ll see what happens,” said a cryptic Asensio when asked about his future.

The attacker is fully aware of the importance of Sunday’s Derby now that Real Madrid have built a solid lead in the table.

“This is a very important game for us. We have a lead but the season is very long” he added.

Asensio concluded his interview by sharing his thoughts about overcoming the knee injury he suffered in 2019.
