Barcelona seriously consider signing Asensio

Marco Asensio could end up at Barcelona. When this was initially mentioned, the player himself did not rule it out and it generated outrage among Real Madrid supporters. Now that it looks like he is closer to renewing, 'Mundo Deportivo' says that taking him to Camp Nou is an option for debate in the Catalan capital.

Barça have a lot in mind that he will join Xavi Hernandez's side as a free agent. This aspect is fundamental. Joan Laporta and his men are dealing with a very difficult financial situation and the ideal would be to reinforce the squad, without affecting the club's finances too negatively.

Furthermore, the 26-year-old plays for Spain, is great at kicking the ball and doesn't seem to have any problems starting out. His past at Espanyol and Real Madrid would raise some eyebrows, but they still consider him.
