Real Madrid is willing to listen to offers for Raúl Asencio, a 23-year-old center-back, after José Mourinho informed the club that he does not consider him for the upcoming season. Olympique de Marseille is one of the teams interested in acquiring the defender during this summer transfer window.

Asencio's situation has changed with Mourinho's arrival. The Portuguese coach has made it clear that the center-back can leave if a proposal convinces both the player and Real Madrid, which now has several options for that position.

Real Madrid Opens the Door for Raúl Asencio

Raúl Asencio approached the summer with the intention of staying and fighting for minutes. However, Mourinho's decision has altered the scenario, and the club is already working to find a solution that allows the defender to continue playing regularly.

Competition in the center of defense has also increased. Real Madrid has Dean Huijsen, Ibrahima Konaté, Antonio Rüdiger, and Éder Militao, limiting Asencio's space in the rotation.

The center-back played 34 official matches last season, accumulating 2,514 minutes, scoring two goals, and providing one assist. In LaLiga, he featured in 23 games, starting in 18 of them.

At 23 years old, Asencio still has room to find continuity outside the Santiago Bernabéu. The main challenge will be reaching an agreement that also convinces the player, who had expressed his intention to stay in Madrid in recent weeks.

Olympique de Marseille Emerges as an Option

Olympique de Marseille is monitoring the defender's situation and considering the possibility of signing him this summer. The French club is aware that Real Madrid is willing to negotiate and that Mourinho does not deem his continuity essential.

The chance to play in France would allow Asencio to start a new phase after establishing himself in the Madrid first team. The center-back made his debut with Real Madrid in November 2024 and has since gained experience in both LaLiga and European competitions.

His contractual situation gives the white club room to negotiate. Asencio is not close to the end of his contract with Real Madrid, so any departure must also meet the economic conditions set by the entity.

Marseille's interest comes at a difficult time for the player. Asencio suffered a muscular injury in the right hamstring at the end of July, and his recovery could take several weeks.

Mourinho Has Already Made a Decision

José Mourinho's stance is one of the factors that could expedite the operation. The coach believes he has enough alternatives for the position and has informed Real Madrid that Asencio is dispensable for the 2026/27 season.

This leaves the club open to considering offers in the final weeks of the transfer market. Olympique de Marseille has the player among its options, although they still need to find a solution that satisfies all parties.

The next step will depend on whether the French interest turns into a concrete proposal. If Olympique de Marseille progresses, and Asencio agrees to leave Spain, Real Madrid is prepared to negotiate his departure before the market closes.
