Barca and Mendes discuss Asensio transfer

January is almost over. The transfer window has just over a week to go, but clubs are already looking ahead to the summer of 2023, when the biggest spending is expected.

One of the players who can already negotiate his new contract is Marco Asensio. The Balearic player has not yet reached an agreement with Real Madrid and his contract expires on 30th June.

'Sport' indicated that Barcelona are one of the clubs keeping an eye on his situation. In fact, the Catalan giants have already spoken about the winger with his agent, Jorge Mendes.

Mendes' good relations with Barcelona could bring Asensio closer to the Camp Nou, although he has not yet decided whether he will accept a low price renewal at Real Madrid or look for a new destination.

Asensio's name has come up in meetings between Mendes and Barcelona, although the main topic is Ruben Neves. Barcelona want to take advantage of an opportunity in the market, without having to pay a transfer fee, to sign the Spanish international.
