AC Milan 'planning summer move for Marco Asensio'

AC Milan are reportedly lining up a summer approach for Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio.

The 26-year-old has been an important player for Los Blancos during the 2021-22 campaign, finding the back of the net on 10 occasions in 35 appearances, in addition to contributing one assist.

Asensio's current deal at Bernabeu is due to expire in June 2023, though, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future over the last few months.

According to Calciomercato, Milan have identified the Spain international as a leading target for this summer's window and are planning to make a strong attempt to sign him.

The report claims that an offer in the region of €25m (£20.9m) could be enough to convince Real Madrid to sell, with the Spanish giants being linked with both Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland.

Asensio is allegedly looking for a salary increase to €7m (£5.9m) net per season, and Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on the Spaniard's situation.

The former Mallorca youngster has scored 47 goals and registered 23 assists in 228 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions.
