Xabi Alonso wants Asensio at Bayer Leverkusen

Marco Asensio could change his future destination, although not the nationality of his coach, before 1 February, when the transfer window closes in Europe's top leagues.
Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen are interested in the Spanish international, who last Sunday returned to the starting line-up for Paris Saint-Germain and scored one of his team's goals.
'Sky Germany' has confirmed that the German side have made a bid to bring Asensio into their squad in the last few hours, taking advantage of the few minutes he has had under Luis Enrique since his signing.
The Spaniard has only played 12 games for Paris Saint-Germain, either due to a lack of opportunities or an injury that has sidelined him for two months.

Bayer Leverkusen's position is completely contrary to that of the player. According to the source, Asensio wants to earn his minutes in a PSG team that is overpopulated in attacking profiles, with men like Mbappe, Kolo-Muani, Goncalo Ramos, Barcola or Dembele, among others.
In fact, the player's entourage would have denied the possibility of leaving in the winter in search of more minutes, either on loan or on transfer.
The last word, therefore, will be left to Paris Saint-Germain itself, in the hands of Luis Campos, sporting director, and Luis Enrique, coach. However, a short-term exit is not on the cards at the Parc des Princes either.
