Countdown to find a way out

Less than a week left until the transfer market end and many players have their future in the air, either due to lack of offers or because of his situation with the club. At Real Madrid, Asensio, Odriozola and Mariano; at FC Barcelona Braithwaite, Dest and Aubameyang; and Rdt in Espanyol are the most notorious players in this situation. The end of August sets the countdown in motion for players and clubs.

Marco Asensio. The Mallorcan has been at Real Madrid since 2016, but his permanence in the team led by Carlo Ancelotti is unknown. He has a contract in force until 2023, but no continuity on the pitch, causing him to not finish finding his place on the pitch. In April he changed his agent, placing his trust in Jorge Mendes, hinting at the intention of making some change in his future. The player would love to stay in white, but the overbooked in the team places him in a complicated situation, and more so with the World Cup in Qatar just around the corner. You hear a possible offer coming from the premier league by the player. Ancelottion the Press conference prior to the game against Espanyol, he stated that “if Asensio stays he will be an important player in the squad. And if he leaves, we have to listen to him and if there are good options for him or for the club, it can be assessed”.

Alvaro Odriozola. There are already two seasons in which the Madrid team’s right-back has had to seek a provisional exit from the merengue club. He arrived at Real Madrid in 2018 and remained in the first team until 2020, when he went on loan to Bayern Munich for a season. He returned from Germany to go, the following season, to Fiorentina for a year as well. This season 22-23, the Basque player returns to the ranks of Real Madrid. Odriozola wants to play but Ancelotti does not have him and the club is looking for one exit before the transfer market ends. It seems that premier league it may be your fate as, as reported by ASNottingham were interested in the player.

Mariano Diaz. In the case of the striker, the unknown of his future is related to figures more than with lack of offers. The Hispanic-Dominican has given the first step to leave Real Madrid as they have no weight in the squad and believe that it is a good time to look for a team where they can be more useful. Now it’s the club who has the ball in his court, and doubts about the player output they reside in the manner in which it is going to be given. The main idea is through a transfer, but the player asks for the freedom card. Leaving for free is not an option for the white club, despite the fact that the striker does not count for Madrid. On the one hand, the real Madrid It would release that salary (around €9.5M gross per year plus bonuses for titles), but it would also mean giving up the money that his transfer to Olympique de Lyon cost (€33M). There are four days left for both parties to reach an agreement.

Raul De Tomas. The striker of Spanish is in a tangled situation with the club. The footballer continues with inconvenience since the beginning of the preseason and train outside the group. The situation is complicated for the man from Madrid, who still has no firm proposals and has his sights set on Qatar 2022. For this reason, right now he is immersed in a time trial to resolve his future. Both parties think that the best option is a exitbut his high record makes it difficult and they are waiting for offers to arrive for him.

Martin Braithwaite. The Danish striker does not give his arm to twist, despite the fact that the FC Barcelona He has made it clear from the beginning that they do not have him for the 2022/2023 season. The Blaugrana club offered him the letter of freedom, like some of his teammates, and the possibility of leaving on loan, but the player has rejected both options. Xavi recognized in the Press conference prior to the match against Real Valladolid that “he has known since May 17 that we don’t have him. From here, everything depends on the market. Football-wise, he knows my position. I was very clear.” Mallorca has asked about him to Barça to improve his attack, but the player’s high record prevents the transfer. The most viable solution that the club sees is terminate the contract and go out with the freedom letter.

In the case of Aubameyang, his future does not look so uncertain. aubameyang knows that FC Barcelona needs to release salary mass to register Koundé, so his departure is the most affordable option for the club, despite the fact that Xavi does see a place for him in his project. The team he knocks on his door is the Chelseawhich would bring in 25 million for the player, although an offer from the United.
