Marco Asensio rejects Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce as Inter rival AC Milan and Villarreal for PSG outcast

Club Friendlies

Al Ittihad

Fenerbahce

<p>According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/internacional/20250714/1002499705/asensio-rechaza-9-kilos-fenerbahce-le-sale-nuevo-pretendiente-grande-europa.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>, the ex-Real Madrid midfielder has declined an offer worth €9 million (£7.8m) to play under Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce. The 29-year-old wants to stay and continue in Europe's top leagues, and multiple clubs want to land his signature. Serie A sides AC Milan and Inter have kept the player on their radar. There's also interest from Spain with Villarreal looking to sign him.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Spaniard wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain as he is not part of the club's project anymore. The midfielder has turned down Fenerbahce's offer, even though it would have guaranteed him the playing minutes he's looking for. His desire is to continue in Europe, but if he wishes to join a top-flight club, he will reportedly have to take a pay cut. This is because no club would be able to afford his high wages, which are around €14m (£12m/$16m) annually.</p><p>However, the four-time Champions League winner has shown he is still capable of playing for a top team. He enjoyed a good loan spell under Unai Emery at Aston Villa last season where he scored three goals and grabbed one assist in 13 games in the Premier League.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>PSG will be looking to offload the player this summer as his contract runs out in June 2026. The Ligue 1 club has one year to recoup a transfer fee, otherwise, he will be free to discuss a move to any other club when he enters the final six months of his contract. The Parisians have reportedly set a price tag of around €10m (£8m/$11m) for Asensio.</p>
