Asensio has options from around Europe, however, Villa are keen to try and land the three-times Champions League winner in what would be a statement signing for the club.
First-team manager Unai Emery is keen to add star quality to his attack during the off-season after finishing in a promising seventh position in the Premier League standings during his first season in charge.
