Marco Asensio could leave Real Madrid this summer, with Manchester United and Arsenal among the teams interested in signing the winger.
Asensio is entering the final year of his contract and has struggled for regular game time at Madrid due to injuries and the emergence of players such as Vinicius Junior.
The Spaniard was productive in his limited appearances this season, scoring ten goals in 31 La Liga games, 12 of which were off the bench.
But Real could choose to take advantage of the interest from English sides by cashing in on Asensio instead of risking him leaving for free next summer.

What is Marco Asensio's transfer value?
FootballTransfers estimates Asensio's current value to be around €27 million
This figure is calculated by looking at hundreds of in-game data points, as well as external factors such as length of contract and age.
His value had peaked as high as €38.9m in 2019 before Asensio tore his ACL that summer, keeping him on the sidelines for a whole season.
The injury saw Asensio's value drop as low as €23.9m before neutralising around its current range of €27m to €31m.
Asensio is also considered to be the 14th most valuable Spanish player as well as the 26th best player in La Liga according to FootballTransfers.
Real Madrid are rumoured to have demanded a fee of around €50m which has put sides off and they still are interested in renewing Asensio's contract.

The 26-year-old has shown glimpses of his quality since making his Real debut in 2016 following his move from Mallorca in 2014.
Asensio had scored in many big games for Los Blancos, including the Champions League final against Juventus in 2017, but his progress was halted after his injury.
He has played bit-part role since returning to fitness, failing to start more than 21 league games in a season since joining Madrid.
In spite of his limited minutes for his club, he is still a regular for the national side and has featured during Spain's recent internationals.
