Inter to make third move for Marco Asensio with PSG ready to sell

PSG midfielder Marco Asensio

    Key Takeaways:

  • Inter are preparing a third attempt to sign Marco Asensio
  • The Spanish midfielder is not in PSG’s plans and could be sold for €10–12 million
  • Asensio boasts a decorated career with Real Madrid and a UEFA Nations League title with Spain

Inter are set to make a third attempt to sign Marco Asensio, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Nerazzurri made their first approach in the summer of 2023, while the second bid came in January, but the Italian club was unable to part ways with Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa at the time.

Asensio is currently a PSG player but does not figure in Luis Enrique’s plans and is available on the market. In the past six months, he played on loan at Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The midfielder’s contract with PSG runs until 2026, which means the French champions are unlikely to ask for a high fee. The two clubs are expected to settle on a transfer sum between €10 and €12 million. However, Asensio’s current salary is €8 million net per season, and a move to Inter would require the player to accept a pay cut.

Asensio has won 3 UEFA Champions League titles, 3 La Liga titles, 2 UEFA Super Cups, and 3 FIFA Club World Cups with Real Madrid, scoring 61 goals in 286 matches. For Spain, he has 42 caps, 2 goals, and a UEFA Nations League title (2023).
