One of the PSG players, now Persona Non Grata in the capital, may well have the luxury of choosing between two destinations this summer.
The future of Marco Asensio seems to be drawing away from Paris Saint-Germain. Freshly returned from a six -month loan to Aston Villa, the Spanish attacking midfielder, outside the plans of coach Luis Enrique, is now linked to a possible transfer to Benfica, after his return to the capital.
The rumors evoke a pronounced interest of the Portuguese club for the former Madrid, motivated in particular by a failed opportunity in the João Félix file, who left for Al-Nassr. The objective is clear, to find a new offensive option to compensate for the departure of Angel Di Maria, returned to his training club, the CA Rosario Central.
Benfica and Aston Villa in the elbow?
According to the Portuguese press, the vice-champion of Portugal indeed launched hostilities on this file. The SLB would plan to complete the recruitment of Asensio for an amount of around 11 million euros. An almost finalized transaction, pending only from the player's agreement.
However, this soap opera is far from over. Indeed, according to ASthe quadruple European champion remains in the collimator of Aston Villa, where the coach Unai Emery would not be against the idea of recovering it for next season.
