Raúl Asencio, a 23-year-old center-back and one of the key players of Real Madrid in recent seasons, will have to look for a new team during this transfer window after José Mourinho informed him that he is not part of his plans for the 2026/27 season. A loan to Getafe is being considered, although there is no agreement between the clubs yet.

This decision comes in the early weeks of the Portuguese coach's work in Valdebebas. Asencio is training normally during the preseason, but his place in the squad is affected by strong competition, limiting his chances of playing minutes.

José Mourinho informs Raúl Asencio of his decision

According to information from Radioestadio, José Mourinho has already told the defender that he needs to find a new destination. The coach is making decisions about the team composition before the start of LaLiga, scheduled for August.

This stance affects a player with a contract until June 30, 2031. The club renewed Asencio's contract in 2025 with a €1 billion release clause, a figure meant to control his future but doesn't prevent exploring a temporary or permanent exit.

The center-back played 34 matches, scored two goals, and provided one assist during the 2025/26 season. In the national league, he featured in 23 games, started in 18, and played 1,706 minutes.

These achievements were not enough to secure a place in the new project. Mourinho has several options for the defense, and the club is willing to consider proposals before the transfer window closes.

Real Madrid considers a loan or transfer

Real Madrid has not yet decided on the exit strategy. A loan would allow Raúl Asencio to gain playing time while maintaining the contract until 2031, whereas a transfer could include terms for a possible return or retaining certain rights.

In recent weeks, Getafe has emerged as a potential destination. The team could offer him continuity in LaLiga and keep him in Madrid, but there is no accepted proposal or closed negotiation at this stage.

The player's desire adds another layer to the deal. His personal trainer, Luiso Hernández, stated this week that Asencio wants to stay, be important, and convince the new coaching staff. This intention clashes with the reported decision of the coach.

Asencio's efforts to convince Mourinho over the past two weeks

The defender started the preseason aiming to compete for a spot after losing prominence last season. However, the received message now forces him to consider the options presented by his surroundings and the club in the coming weeks.

The sports management needs to resolve this issue before the competition starts to avoid the central defender remaining without a defined role. The next step will be to see if Getafe formalizes their interest or if another club emerges willing to provide playing time to Raúl Asencio in the 2026/27 season.
