Real Madrid are on the verge of extending the contract of young defender Raul Asencio.
According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Los Blancos are close to finalising an agreement over a new long-term deal for Asencio, whose current contract expires in 2026.
Asencio has seized his opportunity after being promoted from Castilla to the first team this season to deal with the injury crisis.
The Spaniard has become a pivotal figure in Real’s backline with his brilliant performances across all competitions.
Asencio also produced standout performances against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League knockout stage, helping Los Blancos progress to the quarter-finals.
