Real Madrid president Florentino accepts he must sacrifice Chelsea target Asensio

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has all but accept Marco Asensio will leave this summer.

With Perez and Zinedine Zidane close to settling on the coach continuing next season, the president knows he will face a mini revolt from a clique inside the Real squad.

Diario Gol says heading the protests will be Asensio, who has already decided he will leave if Zidane remains in charge. A move to Chelsea is favoured by the young winger.

But he won't be alone, with Isco, Dani Ceballos and Marcos Llorente all expected to demand transfers after feeling let down by Zidane this term.
