      Long-tipped to become a star at the Bernabeu, Asensio, 25, returned from a long spell out injured to feature 48 times last season, scoring seven times.
      But he has only featured five times this term – for a grand total of 69 minutes.
      And he will hold talks with Ancelotti over his future soon, according to Spanish journalist Antón Meana.
      He told El Larguero: “If Marco Asensio continues to have a completely residual role as if he were Isco or Marcelo, the season will be long and the club-coach, coach-footballer, footballer-club talks will be repeated.
      “It is a situation that is already beginning to be complicated and we are in the middle of September.”
      Real Madrid are also building funds to bid for Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, meaning Asensio is reportedly seen as a prime candidate for a January sale.

      Leeds, Leicester and Everton have all been named by Spanish reports as Arsenal’s main competition for Asensio.
      Meana added: “There is the Marco Asensio case – this week seems key.
      “Marco is not Isco, Marco is not Marcelo. Marco has offers, Marco is not finished and, therefore, neither he nor his representatives understand the role Ancelotti gives him.
      “His strange obsession of seeing him in the game at 4-3-3 when he has never played there.
      “Although they don’t blame anyone for now, least of all Ancelotti, this week seems key.
      “He was untouchable since he returned from Espanyol on loan.

      “He was the player who had the most offers from all over Europe and Zinedine Zidane asked him to stay and play 40 games with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema or Gareth Bale.
      “Before the summer, Asensio’s representatives said the future of the Balearic footballer depended on Ancelotti.
      “But Ancelotti has not given him much ball. It seems like a difficult year for Asensio.”

      by

      He is now said to be a little more content with Carlo Ancelotti as coach, however ultimately he still wants to go elsewhere.
      According to Calcio Mercato, Juventus and AC Milan are both interested in making a bid for Isco in the January window.
      Isco has entered the final year of his contract so Real Madrid could look to cash in while they still can.
      Ancelotti reportedly had a conversation with the Spaniard about his future when he returned to the club, suggesting he had a role to play.
      He was previously linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer as the Gunners looked to take advantage of him being outcast at Madrid.
      But Mikel Arteta’s side couldn’t make much progress and Isco stayed put.

      Isco joined Real Madrid way back in 2013 and has played 339 times for the European giants, scoring 51 goals.
      He has started two LaLiga matches already so far this season, but was left on the bench in their 5-2 win over Celta Vigo last weekend.
      Ancelotti has enjoyed a positive start following his return to Los Blancos with three wins and a draw seeing them top the table after four matches.
      His side also claimed a 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

      Eden Hazard’s Real Madrid future in doubt as ex-Chelsea star ‘knows Vinicius Jr is ahead of him’ in pecking order

      by

      EDEN HAZARD is aware that Vinicius Jr is ahead of him in the pecking order at Real Madrid in a further blow to his Bernabeu career, reports suggest.Hazard has failed to live up to expectations ever since his staggering £90million move to Real from Chelsea in 2019.

      A string of injuries have limited the winger to a mere five goals and nine assists in 46 appearances across all competitions.
      According to Marca, the Belgium international is seeing a spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting line-up slipping through his fingers.
      That is because the 30-year-old is being outshined by Vinicius, who has enjoyed a stunning start to his season.
      The 21-year-old winger has already registered three goals in as many games and has earned Ancelotti’s trust.
      Therefore, the Italian manager seems to prefer a front three consisting of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and the Brazil international.
      Hazard is aware of this and understands his future at the Santiago Bernabeu has become quite uncertain.

      This comes after Real spent the summer transfer window cutting down on spending following the coronavirus pandemic’s financial impact.
      Los Blancos are also determined to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe either in January or next summer.
      Mbappe’s contract with PSG runs out in June and the star striker seems to be on his way to the Spanish capital.
      But the France international will cost a hefty fee, even as a free agent, and more room may have to be made in Real’s books.
      That makes Hazard’s future in Madrid even more precarious and so a move elsewhere could be on the cards.

      Man Utd face Youri Tielemans transfer battle with Real Madrid and Barcelona also ‘monitoring’ Leicester star

      by

      REAL MADRID and Barcelona have joined Manchester United in the bidding war for Leicester star Youri Tielemans, reports suggest.Tielemans has impressed at King Power Stadium ever since the Foxes signed him on a club record £40million fee in 2019.

      Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that a host of top clubs are now keeping tabs on the midfielder ahead of the next summer transfer window.
      Romano reports that United, Real and Barca are among the Belgium international’s suitors.
      The Italian journalist added that that this could be one of the most prominent transfer sagas of the coming summer.
      United will reportedly make a move for the 24-year-old if they lose Paul Pogba next year.
      Pogba’s contract with the Red Devils runs out in June and he doesn’t look close to signing a new deal any time soon.
      The star midfielder has previously been linked with a move to Real, who are still keeping tabs on him.

      BETTING SPECIAL GET RONALDO TO SCORE AGAINST NEWCASTLE ANYTIME AT 30/1 OR FIRST AT 50/1
      Thus, a potential departure by the France international could clear the path for United to land Tielemans.
      According to ESPN, though, West Ham star Declan Rice will also be included on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer list should the Old Trafford manager lose Pogba.
      Tielemans has amassed a total of 18 goals and 19 assists in 112 appearances for Leicester across all competitions.
      But none of his goals was more critical than his screamer during last season’s FA Cup final, which led to victory over Chelsea at Wembley.

      Real Madrid accused of ‘illegal’ and ‘completely incorrect’ Kylian Mbappe transfer approach by PSG chief Leonardo

      by

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN chief Leonardo has slammed Real Madrid over their ‘illegal and unacceptable’ £137million bid to land Kylian Mbappe.But the French giants say they will not stand in the way of the former Monaco striker if the right offer comes in from the Bernabeu.

      PSG chief Leonardo has hit out at Los Blancos over their bid for MbappeCredit: Rex
      The money put on the table for the 22-year-old is LESS than what his current club paid for him four years ago.
      And Leonardo believes it is a deliberate strategy from Madrid to land him on a free when he is out of contract in summer 2022.
      He said: “Kylian Mbappe wants to join Real Madrid and we will not hold him back. We said no to Madrid’s first offer but if our conditions are met, we’ll see.
      “We’ll allow it but on our conditions. Kylian always promised us he will not leave for free.
      “It seems like a strategy from Madrid to try to get a ‘no’ from us, to show that they have tried everything and to wait for a year to get him for free.”
      Leonardo added: “For the last two years the behaviour of Madrid has been incorrect, illegal, getting in contact with his representatives, unacceptable, completely incorrect towards us.

      BETTING SPECIAL – GET £50 IN FREE BETS WITH WILLIAM HILL
      “And the proof of this strategy is to present an offer seven days before the market shuts and a year before the end of his contract. It seems like a strategy that suggests they have tried everything.
      “I’m not going to get into figures but the €160m [£137m] is less than we paid for him. But this goes further than this. It’s the way things have been done.
      “It’s disrespectful. We have done everything for Kylian to be with us and one week [from close of market] we are not going to change plans.
      “If a player wants to go, he goes, but under our conditions.”
      Real Madrid supremo Florentino Perez was asked about the bid and said: “They have already answered – and rudely.”
      If PSG do land a sizeable windfall in the next few days, it could lead them to renew their interest in Manchester United ace Paul Pogba.
      The Red Devils have a dilemma looming with the French international – who has less than 12 months on his existing deal – refusing to sign a new deal at Old Trafford.
      A possible move to the Parc des Princes ground to a halt after they swooped for Lionel Messi earlier this month.
      Messi is reportedly earning £1,000,000-a-week at PSG
      And Pogba has made an encouraging start to the season for United – turning in top stats in training despite his later return to Carrington.
      The arrival of his France international team-mate Raphael Varane from Real Madrid has also given the midfielder a lift.
      So Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be praying there is no more contact from PSG and that the 28-year-old can be persuaded to commit his future to United.

      Man City ready to let Aymeric Laporte leave if £60m transfer fee is met as Real Madrid and Juventus eye defender

      Man City will let Aymeric Laporte leave if their £60m valuation is met, reports sayCredit: Getty
      And according to The Mail, the Premier League champions have agreed not to prevent Laporte from leaving.
      But they will demand £3m more than the £57m they paid Athletic Bilbao in 2018 when they signed the centre-back.
      It is claimed Real Madrid and Juvenuts are among the clubs interested in signing him.
      The centre-half spent six years in Bilbao, which qualified him to play for Spain as he switched international allegiances from France.
      The 27-year-old played in all six of Spain’s European Championship matches this summer.
      But they were knocked out on penalties by eventual winners Italy in the semi-finals.

      Heading into the delayed tournament, Laporte had played only 16 league games as manager Pep Guardiola opted to partner Dias and Stones.
      Stones’ turnaround in form was so impressive, and it earned him a bumper new five-year deal worth a reported £250,000-per-week.
      But the defender, who played in all of England’s Euros matches, has missed City’s opening two matches this season.
      The Premier League champions lost the season curtain raiser against Leicester in the Community Shield.
      And they were then beaten by Tottenham in their first game of the domestic season and play recently promoted Norwich today.

      The midfielder has reportedly agreed a five-year contract and is already in London for a medical.

      “Permanent move – bit less than €40m to Real Madrid. Personal terms already agreed on five years contract.
      “Edu and Arteta wanted Odegaard as only priority since June, strategy was correct… and now, done deal.”
      Odegaard spent last season on loan at the Emirates and put in some impressive performances.

      But it appeared he hadn’t done enough for Arsenal to push for a permanent deal, and he returned to Real Madrid.
      Odegaard did not train with his Real team-mates on Tuesday as he looked to thrash out his future.
      The midfielder scored two goals in 20 appearances under Gunners boss Mikel Arteta last season.
      But Arsenal were dealt a blow when it looked like Madrid were set to keep hold of him as cover for the injured Toni Kroos.
      The Gunners were able to fund the deal after they sold Joe Willock to Newcastle for £25m.

      Odegaard’s agent landed in London on Tuesday to finalise the move.
      He had two years left on his Real contract but it gradually became apparent he did not have a future under new boss Carlo Ancelotti.
      The final nail in the coffin was when he was left without a squad number as his No 21 shirt was handed to Rodrygo.
