Jorge Mendes seeks exit for Raul Asencio from Real Madrid amid Mourinho's plans

Raul Asencio may depart Real Madrid as Jose Mourinho has stated the player is not in his plans. Asencio's agent, Jorge Mendes, is working to find a suitable club for his exit following the addition of Ibrahima Konate. Real Madrid currently seeks a second defensive departure to facilitate a key signing, with Alessandro Bastoni targeted as a top prospective recruit. Despite minimal interest, Mendes has offered Asencio's services to various clubs, including Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, but the defender prefers to stay and fight for his spot at Madrid unless he finds an attractive opportunity.
