According to Don Balon, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ‘willing to pay’ £87.9m to Real Madrid for the signature of Marco Asensio, but president Florentino Perez is holding out for £114.3m before he considers letting the outcast leave this summer.
Asensio joined Real from RCD Mallorca in 2015 and has gone on to make 84 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos. The 22-year-old has racked up an impressive 46 appearances this season, but 43% of them have come from the bench.
He’s made 18 starts in La Liga, contributing nine goals, while playing in all but one of their Champions League outings.
