Marco Asensio arrived at Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent from Real Madrid. Despite not being with the French giants for a full season, the Spaniard could be regretting his decision.
The 28-year-old has made 26 appearances this season, scoring five goals and registering six assists. Asensio hasn’t inserted himself as a regular in manager Luis Enrique’s starting 11, so new information regarding his situation has emerged.
As a result, Defensa Central reports (h/t Sport.fr) that Asensio regrets his decision to join PSG. In these important fixtures, the Spanish manager has gone with other players and it might be a sign to the former Real Madrid sensation.
In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Dortmund, Enrique opted for just two changes, hinting at his doubts about certain substitutes, like Asensio. Despite his versatility and experience, the Spanish international struggled to make his mark in the Paris team.
This lack of game time stands in stark contrast to Asensio’s hopes when he joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer. After turning down a contract extension at Real Madrid, he believed he’d enjoy a more prominent role in the French capital.
