Real Madrid‘s Marco Asensio turned down the chance to categorically rule out a move to Barcelona after being linked with a sensational move across the Clasico divide.
Asensio, 26, is out of contract with Madrid at the end of the season. While he has not ruled out extending his eight-year stay at the club, there are no renewal talks.

Mundo Deportivo reported earlier this week that the Spain international’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has spoken with Barca about a potential free transfer next summer.
“Honestly, I don’t know if they have called,” Asensio told Spanish radio station Cope when asked if he was aware of Barca’s interest.
“A lot of other clubs have been linked [with me] as well. But it’s normal because in seven months, well, from January actually, I am free to speak to other teams.”
