Jose Mourinho to decide Real Madrid academy player Raul Asencio's future
Summary

Jose Mourinho will determine the future of Real Madrid academy graduate Raul Asencio as the club plans a defensive overhaul this summer. With David Alaba's departure and injuries affecting Eder Militao, Madrid struggles with its center-back options. Although Asencio has performed well in the first team, he may not fit into Mourinho's plans, impacting his potential stay with the club. Real Madrid is also looking to strengthen the defense with big-name targets like Josko Gvardiol and Alessandro Bastoni, which could limit Asencio's chances for a starting role.
