Real Madrid attacker Asensio cannot rule out Barcelona move; explains Mallorca anger

Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio cannot rule out a shock move to Barcelona.

Off contract in June, Asensio's situation is being monitored by Barca's heirarchy.

At his Spain media conference today, the midfielder said: "I have not thought about it nor have I valued it. There are many rumours, speculations, and it is normal. In 7 months I can sign with any club and it is normal for many clubs to come out, and they will come out more surely."

Asked directly about joining Barca, he added: "It is that I have not thought about it, nor have I valued it. Right now, I can't give you an answer, I don't know."

Asensio was also asked about his public show of anger after not being fielded in victory over Real Mallorca.

He continued: "There will always be discussions, and people who will think that it is good, that it is bad. In my case, I lived it that way, I am a person who shows when I am happy, when I am p***ed off... In that case, the change did not take place, as you say, it was a special match for me, because it was against a former team, we were drawing, I thought I could help the team...

"It didn't happen because of a teammate's injury, it was bad luck, but well, in the end we won and it remains an anecdote. Zero problems with the coach."
