PSG is moving up a gear. After a long silence since the start of the transfer window, the capital club formalized, Thursday, July 6, its second recruit of the day after Milan Skriniar, and the day after the arrival of Luis Enrique as coach. In a statement released by the club, the Spanish international signed a three-year contract, until 2026.

At Real Madrid since 2015, after two years in Mallorca, and a year on loan at Espanyol Barcelona when he arrived in the Iberian capital, he left the White House with 286 games on the clock and some 61 goals and 32 assists . The one who has 37 selections with La Roja has also already passed under the orders of Luis Enrique when the latter was at the head of the national team.

Marco Asensio, who arrives free, also comes to Paris with great experience in the Champions League. Even if his career in Madrid was not linear, it still allowed him to hang three “big-eared cups” on his list. Announced as a prodigy during his first seasons, he gradually returned to the ranks, while remaining an important player in the Madrid rotation, again this year.

The new Spanish attacking midfielder confided, in the press release, his pleasure to arrive in the capital: “It is a privilege to be part of this great club that is PSG. I look forward to joining my new teammates and working with them to achieve great goals.” Goals that will go through a competition that he knows very well.
