Real Madrid have reportedly set their price for rumoured Arsenal and Tottenham target Marco Asensio, with the winger available for €30m (£25m).
According to CalcioMercato, the Spanish international is open to leaving Madrid this summer, with the two north London sides in the race to sign Asensio, as are AC Milan.
As per the report, Madrid will now hold the attacker to ransom, with the La Liga giants open to selling the forward from anything between €25m (£20m) to €30m, a fee that Arsenal and Tottenham could be open to paying.
With a release clause of €500m (£418m) according to the Mirror, this new price tag for Asensio will be music for Arsenal and Tottenham, who both could do with signing attackers this summer.
Whilst Antonio Conte’s side have been impressive in recent weeks in front of goal, there’s no denying that some depth in the attacking position is needed for the north London club.
Meanwhile, for Arsenal, the Gunners are in a similar yet more dire situation when it comes to forwards, with Mikel Arteta’s side struggling to find the back of the net this season, which is what could make Asensio a tempting signing.
Tottenham should do all they can to beat Arsenal to Asensio
With a £25m price tag, Asensio could make one club very happy this summer if the Madrid star does depart Spain, and for Tottenham, they should be doing all they can to beat Arsenal to the winger.
Indeed, the Spaniard could be an excellent addition for Tottenham’s attacking ranks, and with Asensio open to a new challenge, joining Conte’s project in north London could entice the Madrid superstar.
