Asensio quizzed on Real Madrid future as he prepares for Olympics 2020 gold medal bid

The Blancos forward suffered injury issues last season, leading him to miss out on the European Championships, but he is raring to go again

Marco Asensio is adamant that he will still be a Real Madrid player in 2021-22, with the 25-year-old eager to shake off recent injury struggles after taking in a shot at Olympics 2020 glory.

The Spain international suffered a number of niggling knocks last season, leading to him ultimately being left out of his nation's plans for this summer's European Championship.

Questions have been asked of how long he will be sticking around at Santiago Bernabeu, with reports of interest from England surfacing in the past, but a man tied to a contract through to 2023 is happy in his current surroundings.
