Real Madrid's Raul Asencio set for summer exit despite injury

Raul Asencio of Real Madrid has sustained a minor muscle injury to his rectus femoris, sidelining him for about six weeks. The club is expected to proceed with plans to sell or loan him despite this setback. Asencio aims to impress coach Jose Mourinho in pre-season, but Madrid's defensive reinforcements suggest limited opportunities for him. The club is firm on moving him this summer, with a permanent deal potentially providing immediate financial return, while a loan could secure him more consistent playtime. His recovery timeline may influence the exact timing of any transfer.
