Real Madrid fines Raul Asencio following a drunk-driving incident

Real Madrid has imposed a financial penalty on defender Raul Asencio after his involvement in a recent drunk-driving incident. According to internal reports, the sanction is valued at approximately €100,000 as the club addresses off-field conduct. While the organization expressed frustration over a pattern of recurring personal issues, the club intends to maintain the defender within the squad. Manager Jose Mourinho previously considered other defensive options, though Asencio had worked to earn a role during training sessions. The player is currently recovering from an injury and faces a difficult path to secure regular playing time behind preferred starters Ibrahima Konate and Dean Huijsen. Moving forward, Asencio must demonstrate improved professionalism to regain the club's trust and compete for opportunities in the defensive rotation.
