Real Madrid 27yo heavily linked with Arsenal makes decision on next club

However, the speculations can now be put to rest as the Spanish international has opted to join Paris Saint-Germain.

With Asensio’s contract at Madrid set to expire, there was no shortage of purported interest from several clubs. Among them, Arsenal were speculated to have been eyeing the Spanish winger as a potential addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad.

However, any lingering rumours of a possible Arsenal link have now been dispelled, as Asensio has reportedly sealed a move to the French capital. It seems the allure of PSG and the opportunity to ply his trade in the French top-flight took precedence in Asensio’s decision-making.

Whilst the Gunners were linked with Asensio, no concrete evidence of an official approach from the North London club ever emerged. Often in the world of football, rumours swell, linking players with various clubs based on little more than whispers and hearsay. As is now clear, Asensio’s case seems to have been one of these instances.

Asensio’s move to PSG not only marks a new chapter in his career but also brings closure to the rumours of a potential Premier League switch. For Arsenal, any speculative interest in the Spanish international ends here, and the focus remains on confirmed transfer targets.

Asensio’s departure from Real Madrid signifies a transition period for the Spanish club, a situation that will be closely monitored by clubs around Europe, including Arsenal.

But for now, any whispers of Marco Asensio donning the red and white of Arsenal are purely conjecture.

For now, the Asensio chapter concludes not in North London, but in the heart of France, at Paris Saint-Germain.
