Alonso bid farewell to "New Ramos": Asensio may be abandoned by Real Madrid

Central defender Raul Asensio, who was once highly expected and regarded as the future core of Real Madrid's defense, has now been excluded from the team's plan by coach Xavi Alonso.

According to Spanish transfer website Fichajes, Real Madrid management has decided to push the young central defender into the transfer market. Although Asensio is still considered to have great potential, his future at the Bernabeu is gradually reaching the end because he has never been able to gain a foothold in the first team.

With Militon returning from injury, Rudiger continued to maintain a stable state, and coupled with the outstanding performance of new aid Dean Heisen, Asensio's position in the team became increasingly marginalized. Coach Xavi Alonso knows that if you want to build a truly competitive new Real Madrid, the defense must be led by more mature, stable and highly psychologically qualifying players.

Asencio had many starting opportunities during Militon's injury last season. However, he did not grasp this critical test, but instead made major mistakes repeatedly. In the Club World Cup against Riyadh Crescent, he gave a point for a low-level foul; then he was sent off with a red card when facing Pachuca. The most disappointing thing is that in the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, he directly lost the team's goal due to his defensive loss, which became an important reason for his defeat.

In addition to the lack of competitive levels, the young player born in 2004 has also been involved in many discipline storms off the court, which is regarded as an untouchable red line in the disciplined Real Madrid. The club has long insisted on a zero-tolerance attitude towards violations, and even the highly anticipated new star is no exception.
