Marco Asensio sought after in Spain
At least six teams from La Liga (Málaga, Betis, Espanyol, Villarreal, Getafe, and Rayo) have inquired about the loan of Mallorcan winger Marco Asensio, who was signed by Real Madrid at the end of last season. As reported by AS, Asensio will do the preseason with Rafa Benítez, who will decide his future, obviously in agreement with the player himself.
Betis has an advantage
The good relationship between the new Real Madrid coach and his counterpart at Betis, Pepe Mel, is in favor of the club. In addition, Betis can count on another significant factor: the close friendship between Marco and Dani Ceballos, who have been roommates in the national team's youth academy and will soon participate in the U19 European championship in Greece. They have already posted several pictures together on social media, including one from yesterday when they enjoyed a day off.
