Champions League final: Real Madrid rejected two £130m bids for Marco Asensio from Premier League clubs

The Spaniard is one of the hottest properties in Europe

Real Madrid have rejected two bids for Marco Asensio from the Premier League, worth around £130m each, according to his agent.

The 22-year-old is one of the brightest talents in world football and signed a new six-year contract in September of last year to keep him in Madrid until 2023 with a reported £613m release clause.

Asensio joined Real in 2014 and is preparing to play in his second Champions League final, against Liverpool, on Saturday in Kiev before heading to the World Cup with tournament favourites Spain.

And his agent Horacio Gaggioli has revealed that Real rejected both offers and that he believes they came from an English club.

“Madrid have received two offers for Marco Asensio, up to €150m (£131m), but the club rejected them,” he told Cadena SER. “He has an extraordinary future.

“You can imagine that they come from England because they can afford it without any problems. They could even raise it.”
