  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Milan have entered discussions with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential move for Asensio, according to L’Equipe. The Spaniard is also the subject of a €15 million (£13m/$16m) offer, including bonuses, from Turkish club Fenerbahce. However, Asensio is reportedly not prioritising a move to Turkey and is assessing all available options before making a decision.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Asensio, 29, remains under contract at PSG until 2026 but spent half of last season on loan at Aston Villa in the Premier League. With that spell over, PSG are open to a transfer, and Milan have initiated contact. Villarreal has also shown interest, although it's not clear if they have sufficient funds to make a deal.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Asensio scored three goals and registered one assist in 13 Premier League games while on loan at Villa. He hinted at staying at the club under compatriot Unai Emery, saying: "Unai is very good for my position and how I can help the team. I am very comfortable."

    However, it is not yet known if Villa will attempt to convince him to snub Milan and Fenerbahce to remain in Birmingham.

    WHAT NEXT FOR ASENSIO

    AC Milan are in the market for a new winger and see Asensio as a viable target. Talks are ongoing, but their financial limitations could impact negotiations. Fenerbahce's bid is still on the table, but Villarreal's interest is less concrete due to budget constraints. PSG is willing to let the player go this summer to trim their wage bill.
