Wantaway Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio has been offered to Arsenal and Manchester United in recent days.

That's according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

He told Wettfreunde: "Marco Asensio has been offered to many important English clubs by his agent over the past two weeks, including Arsenal and Man Utd.

“Right now he is not the priority for Man Utd. He was one of the options in case the Antony deal didn't go through. But now it's almost done, so that's not the case. And I don't see them signing another winger at this point.

“For Arsenal there are no direct negotiations with Real Madrid but the relationship with Jorge Mendes is always very good so it could be a last-minute idea. But at the moment it is no negotiations.

“Certainly Marco Asensio is looking for an opportunity and by deadline day he will try to find a good opportunity because he wants to play. He wants regular playing time. But if he doesn't play, he will stay at Real Madrid and then have a great chance to go on a free transfer next summer.

“So his agent may be working on a free transfer for next summer if nothing happens this week."
