Aston Villa are reportedly keen on bringing Real Madrid's Marco Asensio to Villa Park.

Premier League side Aston Villa are reportedly preparing a move for Real Madrid's Marco Asensio on a free transfer in the summer.  

As Pulse Sports reported, the Spain international is said to be unwilling to continue at Real Madrid and will reject the contract offer tabled before him by the club as he seeks a challenge elsewhere.

Asensio to Aston Villa

According to Football Insider, the Villains are preparing to make a move for former Mallorca man Marco Asensio, who is said to be on his way out of Real Madrid. 

The winger will reportedly announce his next club in the coming weeks, and Villa have been repeatedly linked, with Unai Emery continuing to attract talent from LaLiga.  

Villa currently occupy a UEFA Europa Conference League spot, and a favourable result in the season's final game will see them qualify for European competition. 

The Birmingham club has shown a willingness to splash the cash, and according to the source, they are preparing a healthy financial package for the three-time Champions League winners. 

Meanwhile, with Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. unavailable, Real Madrid knew they had to rely on Rodrygo for their attacking firepower as Carlo Ancelotti refused to show any faith in Eden Hazard. 

Rodrygo responded as he led the line expertly, dragging Los Blancos from a goal down to a deserved 2-1 victory over Sevilla.
