Paris Saint-Germain has decided that Marco Asensio is not part of Luis Enrique's plans and is willing to let him go in this winter transfer market. However, the situation of the Spanish international is not straightforward, as his salary, which amounts to 830,000 euros gross per month, poses an obstacle to finding him a suitable destination.
The Balearic player started the season as an important piece in the Spanish coach's scheme, but in recent months, he has lost prominence. Since December 6, he has barely played 11 minutes, and his absence from the line-ups has been evident. In his place, other younger players like Barcola and Doué have gained importance in PSG's attack, while the club seeks reinforcements like Kvaratskhelia, a star from Napoli, to improve the level of its squad.
His very high salary is a serious problem for interested clubs
Although Asensio is under contract until 2026, PSG prioritizes his transfer to free up salary space. However, interested teams, mainly in England and Spain, do not seem willing to assume such a high contract. According to reports in the newspaper Marca, in case of a loan, the Parisian club might have to cover part of his salary, which does not align with its intentions.
The winter market will be key to defining the future of the winger. While speculations about more exotic options outside of Europe circulate, Asensio faces an uncertain scenario where his salary could be his main obstacle to regaining prominence in a new team.
