JAKARTA - Real Madrid and Marco Asensio are on the verge of negotiations that will determine whether the player's future is at Los Blancos or at another club.

Although the relationship between the two parties was smooth and contact was frequent, the decisive talks surrounding his contract had yet to begin.

The club and the player's agent have agreed to meet soon, with an exact date to be determined at a later date. Asensio's priority is to extend his current contract with Real Madrid, which expires in June 2023.

Club officials recognize Asensio's negotiating position is very good, as if he doesn't sign in the coming months, he will be able to leave for free at the end of next season.

However, launching Marca on Thursday, they are confident that a solution will be found and he will sign a new contract.

The idea is not to do anything crazy financially. This has been the way Real Madrid have operated since the emergence of the pandemic conditioning their plans.

Asensio's case could be another example that made Raphael Varane leave the club. His talk could be influenced by Kylian Mbappe's signing and hopes for Erling Haaland.

The club knew an offer would be made for Asensio, and Tottenham and AC Milan came in last summer. Recently, the clubs have started trying again, but the player has made Real Madrid his priority.

Although not free from fan criticism, Asensio proved it with his goals. With 10 balls, he only lost to Vinicius Junior (17) and Karim Benzema (32).

He also made one assist and was highly admired by coach Carlo Ancelotti. So far this season, the former Mallorca player has played 1,652 minutes, ahead of Rodrygo Goes' 1,631 minutes.
