Everton Preparing €30 Million Bid for Real Madrid’s Raúl Asencio
Real Madrid's control through 2031 means the fee structure could decide the outcome.
Overview
- Everton are preparing a formal €30 million bid for Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio as part of a defensive rebuild under David Moyes, with a structure of fixed fees and add-ons.
- The reports originate from Spanish outlet Fichajes and are echoed by Yahoo Sports and CaughtOffside, and neither club has announced an offer.
- Asencio, 23, has made 19 league appearances and 30 in all competitions this season but has not secured a regular starting role under Álvaro Arbeloa.
- Real Madrid retain leverage because Asencio is under contract until 2031, which positions the club to press for favorable terms.
- Reports also link West Ham United to the player, which could influence negotiations and the final price.
