Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio: I want to renew, but...

Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio says he wants to stay.

Off contract in June, Asensio helped Real fight-back from 2-0 down to win last night's Copa del Rey tie at Villarreal 3-2.

He said at the final whistle: "Yes, we are very happy. The first half has cost us a bit. In the locker room we talked about how weu could come back and get our character out.

"In the end I think we have to correct the negative, but also keep the positive. We are in the next round, which is what is important."

Of his own future, Asensio added: "I want to renew, but it's not just up to me (laughs)."
