AC Milan interested in €25 million rated Real Madrid winger
Karim Benzema has taken the world by storm and is single-handedly carrying Real Madrid’s forward line at the moment. Further, the support from Vinicius Jr on the left wing has been a useful resource for Ancelotti’s side.
However, no player has been able to claim the right-wing position as their own. Rodrygo and Marco Asensio are the players who have been granted the most opportunities to impress but have both struggled.
With a major revamp planned for the summer, shipping out the deadwood becomes important for Los Blancos. One of the players considered transferable by the La Liga leaders is Asensio.
According to reports from Daniele Longo, AC Milan are in constant contact with the Spanish international and are planning a move for him in June. It is said that the Italians have been scouting the player for over a year.
The Milan based side recently sent a representative to talk to Asensio’s father in Madrid, further cementing the rumours of their interest. However, there are several teams in the Premier League keeping tabs on the forward too.
The 26-year-old has played in 25 La Liga games this season, scoring eight goals and creating one big chance. Despite his ability to score goals out of difficult positions, the player is deemed transferable because of his inconsistency.
Los Blancos value Asensio at around €25 million euros, a reasonable fee in today’s inflated market. Given that two of AC Milan’s forwards, Ibrahimovic and Giroud, are in the final years of their careers, the Italians will be tempted to go all out to sign the Spaniard.
In what will come as a pleasing development for fans, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo could make a comeback from his injury earlier than expected.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international has been out of action since March after suffering an ACL injury during a La Liga game against Getafe.
Due to the complete rupture of the ACL, coupled with associated meniscus damage, it was suggested that the attacker was staring at a lengthy time out on the sidelines and might not return until 2027.
In fact, the forward’s father, Eric Goes, recently stated in an interview that the Real Madrid ace could be back in February next year, just before the business end of the campaign.
Rodrygo could be back in December
However, as per the update from Romano, Rodrygo’s comeback could happen well before that expected date.
Indeed, if things continue to progress at the current rate, the 25-year-old attacker might return to action in December or by January 2027 at the latest.
This will come as a welcome boost for Jose Mourinho & co., considering that Rodrygo is a valuable player for the team.
Even though he had endured a tough spell prior to his form, the Brazilian’s versatility, work rate off the ball, and eye for a goal make him an asset.
Rodrygo eager to be back at his best
The update from Romano further states that Rodrygo feels very grateful to Real Madrid for all the help and support they have given him during this difficult phase of his career.
As such, the Brazilian international has made it a mission to return to action in the best shape possible and make an impact from the get-go.
The attacker has only recently begun working on the pitch with the ball indicating the significant progress he has made on the road to recovery.
And, if there are no setbacks, Real Madrid could recover one of their ace attackers before the end of the current year.
So far in his career, Rodrygo has made 297 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 71 goals. He has a contract with the club until 2028.
