Raúl Asencio has become one of the great revelations of Real Madrid this season. His excellent performance, driven by the numerous absences in the team's defense, has led the white club to take measures to ensure his long-term continuity. According to the renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Madrid entity is already working on a contract renewal that would include a significant salary improvement. Currently, the player's contract with the club expires in 2026.

The 22-year-old Canary Islands defender has found a spot in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven following key players' injuries like Éder Militao, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal. Since his official debut, Asencio has shown the quality and maturity needed to play in the first team. Despite offers to go out on loan last summer, the academy product chose to stay and seize his opportunity, a decision that now seems more than correct.

Asencio becomes a priority for Ancelotti and Real Madrid

One of the key moments in his rise was his Champions League debut at Anfield's iconic stadium. Although the team did not achieve a good result, Asencio stood out for his composure and reliability. His understanding in defense with Antonio Rüdiger has been praised, and the German center-back has not hesitated to publicly congratulate the young defender for his performance.

His importance to the team and interest from other clubs have prompted Madrid to accelerate discussions to secure his renewal. Shielding Asencio is now a priority for the white club, which trusts that the academy product will be crucial in its future.
