Real Madrid quash Tottenham's interest in Asensio

According to 'La Sexta' this Thursday, Real Madrid have dealt Tottenham a blow when they have asked about Marco Asensio. Despite having had a terrible season, Real Madrid will not let him go under any concept. 

The TV station says that Real Madrid pointed Spurs to his 700 million euro buyout clause and insist he is not for sale. Zidane counts on the ex-Mallorca man and he will not let him go to London. 

In the same way that Tottenham are insistent on their refusal to sell Harry Kane when Real Madrid came calling, the Spaniards have done the same with Spurs. The Londoners thought that his poor season in the Spanish capital meant they had a goof chance of signing him. 

While they are preparing for the Champions League final against Liverpool on 1st June, Mauricio Pochettino has given the club a list of targets for the summer transfer window and Marco Asensio's name was on that list. 

However, the Argentinian coach will have to settle for another footballer, because Real Madrid will not negotiate his exit. It is worth temembering that the Spanish outfit are still hoping to sign Christian Eriksen in the midfield and Tottenham are still excited about the prospect of Gareth Bale returning.
