Jareth Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Just now, nick76 said: No! Going to PSG is a backwards step compared to signing a new contract at Madrid. Normally I’d agree with your second part but the quotes attributed to him suggests he wants to be the main man and be appreciated. If he wanted what you are saying, why would he not stay at Madrid which has more chance of the biggest prize and he gets good game time there already? Have been a lot of news stories based on what he might be thinking, not sure we are at all close to the reality. Hopefully we get this decided soon so we can all move on, but I quite enjoy the rollercoaster of hope and despair in a transfer window so I'm content to see it play out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 So basically Asensio has a point to prove, he’s been at Real Madrid for almost his entire career as a squad player highly appreciated by the fans and club but not enough lock down a regular spot in the starting 11 in some sense he’s similar to Guti. Has often reach double figures goals and assists so if he want regular game time and a chance to prove that he is the man then a move to PSG doesn’t make sense.

KAZZAM Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 This transfer has entered the realm of the classic 'VillaTalk 50/50'. Will he or won't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever we get to that stage, it usually means that Villa don't get the player in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Think people are underestimating that PSG are a club that will sign players regardless of who the manager is or whether they even have one, and that they are very light on forward at the options so as it stands he would be playing for them. He's struggling to get a look in at Real because of Rodrygo, but there is no right-sided player at PSG currently so he walks into the position. If it's between us and them he's getting offered main man at a Conference League team going places vs starting forward for - as loathe as I am to say it - one of the wealthiest and most appealing clubs on the planet to play for. Villa are going to struggle in such scenarios, as much as I'm holding out some hope that he'd be one of the outliers that would choose us.

Wes Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 So PSG have matched our offer from the sounds of it. So be it if that's his preference. Practically a guaranteed cup win and CL football! We tried, we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire the hope, but this guy is going to go for money AND playing time AND chance of the biggest prize. That won't be us. Mate, I think his point is that, the reason his future at Madrid is up in the air in the first place, is because he ain't getting playing time etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
