Real Madrid president Florentino Perez warned Marco Asensio that he would regret leaving the club. This statement came before Asensio departed the Santiago Bernabeu last year, as reported by Real Madrid Confidencial. The Spanish forward joined PSG on a free transfer during the summer transfer window of 2023 after leaving the Champions League and La Liga champions. He had been with Real Madrid since the summer of 2015, including a season-long loan at Espanyol. Over his seven years with the La Liga club, he made 286 appearances, scoring 61 goals and providing 32 assists. Asensio won several titles with Real Madrid, including three La Liga championships, three Champions League trophies, and four FIFA Club World Cups. However, despite his achievements and contributions, he found it difficult to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. Consequently, following the end of his contract, the Spain international was eager to leave last year. Although the club tried to negotiate a new contract, Asensio chose to sign with PSG instead. “Si vous partez, vous regretterez de l’avoir fait”.
