As the transfer window draws to a close, Marco Asensio has viable options for leaving Real Madrid. The statements Carlo Ancelotti made following the Champions League draw and at the press conference today in Valdebebas were enough for reviving the rumors.

Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Marco Asensio, according to the English press.

Arsenal will reportedly sign an attacker in the upcoming days after releasing Nicolás Pepé, who ended up going on loan to Nice. Asensio, who is liked by Mikel Arteta, would be best suited for the 'gunners', and Jorge Mendes is anticipated to visit London soon to begin negotiations. As long as the negotiations with Ajax for Antony fail, the aforementioned medium also includes Manchester United in the race. The Mirror also notes that Tottenham was interested in the Spaniard this summer, but that interest has cooled.
