Raúl Asencio (21 years old) has become the great revelation of Real Madrid during this break in fixtures. The young center-back, who has been standing out with Castilla, shone in the 4-0 win against Osasuna, and as reported by "Relevo", he will definitively stay with the first team after the international commitments. Ancelotti wants him to be fully integrated in the day-to-day activities of the main group, and there are high chances that he will play in the match against Leganés. Additionally, he has requested that Asencio leaves the dynamics of the reserve team to establish himself among the 'senior' players. In the plans of the Italian coach, Asencio is already ahead of Vallejo, and besides Jesús, there is only one healthy center-back (Rüdiger) in the squad. The Canary Islander will fill the gap.

In terms of sports, his emergence has also caused movement in the offices. The club doesn't want his progress to go unnoticed and is already working on improving his contract. In the past few days, since Asencio amazed everyone at the Bernabéu, there have been several meetings with his agent and closest circle to express the club's interest in extending his contract (which expires in June 2026) and enhancing his salary conditions.
