CONFIRMED: Real Madrid announce Asensio departure

Real Madrid have announced Marco Asensio will leave when his contract expires at the end of the month.

Asensio has decided to leave rather than renew his deal.

Real confirmed: "Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and affection to Marco Asensio, a player who has defended our badge and our colours for seven seasons.

"He joined Real Madrid when he was just 20 years old and has made history as part of a team involved in one of our most successful eras.

"Marco Asensio has lifted 17 trophies at Real Madrid: 3 European Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 3 Uefa Super Cups, 3 LaLiga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups.

"As madridistas we will never forget his career and his outstanding conduct during all this time. Real Madrid is and will always be his home, and we wish him and all his family the best of luck in this new chapter in his career."
