Real Madrid’s Reaction to the Brahim-Asensio Swap: “He’s a Ge…
Rumors of a potential swap between Brahim and Asensio have started circulating, and Real Madrid is paying close attention. The club’s leadership has already responded to the proposed move.
At the end of the last season, Real Madrid offered Marco Asensio a contract renewal, but the Mallorcan player expressed a strong desire to leave the team, seeking a project that would provide him with more playing time and new challenges.
His “replacement” was Brahim Díaz, who was on loan to Milan and had been performing exceptionally well with the Italian side, showcasing his readiness to return to the best club in the world.
Brahim started the season as a substitute with limited playing time. Initially, it seemed that Ancelotti did not have much confidence in him, despite his impressive performances every time he stepped onto the field.
However, injuries have allowed the Malaga-born player to gradually secure a spot in the starting lineup, to the extent that he has become one of the most in-form players for Real Madrid at the moment.
This has led to speculation in some media outlets about the possibility of PSG wanting to initiate a swap, sending Asensio back in exchange for securing the services of Brahim.
Reaction from the White House: At Real Madrid, there is no longing for Asensio, a player who declined to renew and chose PSG to earn more money, despite the offer he had to stay at the Bernabéu.
In Paris, aside from injuries, Asensio has not been particularly enjoyed. Real Madrid opted for Brahim as his replacement, bringing him back from Milan, even though Ancelotti had reservations.
The Italian coach was initially not very confident in Brahim. However, as the matches progressed, Brahim showcased his class and quality, and there is no intention to part with him, let alone to reclaim Asensio.
In fact, within the Bernabéu, they see the Malaga-born player as “a genius” with a valuable skill in football – the ability to dribble past opposing players.
