Asensio hopes that is not the case, with the 22-year-old eager to ensure that a five-time Ballon d’Or winner remains important part of quad at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2018-19. He told Marca when quizzed on the transfer talk (I can’t imagine playing without him. Ronaldo has been, is and will be very important for us. Real Madrid and him always have to go together).

It has been suggested that Asensio could be the man to fill the void for Madrid once Ronaldo does depart, with a modern day icon now 33 years of age.

Asensio added, (We’re different players. I like to drop a little to receive the ball and have more contact with it, being less of a finisher. Everyone evolves as a footballer through learning and we’ll see in the future what position I play). A man who joined Madrid for just €3.9 million from Real Mallorca in 2014 is also keen to avoid being drawn into a debate regarding his current value.

He continued, (I don’t know. I don’t control the way the prices in the market are, but it’s true that it will have gone up quite a bit since I signed, these prices are worked out by the clubs and by circumstance, I don’t know what I would be worth now).
