Asensio extends contract with Real Madrid
Madrid, Sep 28 (IANS) Real Madrid on Thursday announced that young Spain football international striker Marco Asensio has extended his stay with the club until the end of June 2023.
The news comes just 24 hours after central defender Rafael Varene agreed a new contract with the club and sees Asensio join the French defender along with Isco, Dani Caarvajal, Marcelo and Marcos Llorente, who have all extended their Real Madrid deals in the past month, reports Xinhua news agency.
Asensio was signed from Mallorca in December 2014 for under 4 million euros and spent the rest of the 2014-15 season on loan at the club, before spending the following year with Espanyol.
However, last season saw him earn a place in the Madrid first team squad and this season the 21-year-old has had an excellent start to the season, scoring four goals and earning a place in the Spanish national team squad.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
