Real Madrid is building a formidable defense, potentially impacting young Raúl Asencio’s playing time.
Real Madrid, Spain – The Spanish club has constructed a solid and exciting project, aiming to bounce back from past disappointments. A key part of this resurgence is their impressive defensive lineup, bolstered by the acquisition of Dean Huijsen. This emerging talent is already showcasing his skills, complementing the reliable presence of Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão.
This strengthened defense, however, puts 22-year-old Raúl Asencio in a precarious position. Asencio made a positive impact during the 2024-2025 season but has since seen his role diminish under coach Xabi Alonso.
Asencio eyed by Turkish club
According to reports, Besiktas is seeking to strengthen their defensive ranks. The Turkish club has expressed interest in a loan move for Asencio.
Besiktas has reportedly given the club a 10-day window to persuade the young defender to join them. Meanwhile, those at the Santiago Bernabéu remain composed regarding their player’s future. Asencio must now carefully consider his options, given the intense competition for a spot in the Real Madrid squad.
