Ever since his arrival in England’s top-tier football, the Spanish sensation has been nothing short of impressive. Making five appearances for Aston Villa so far, his match-winning double strike in the recent 2-1 triumph against Chelsea proved to be a showstopper. However, amidst the early sparks flying at Villa Park, the future of Asensio remains shrouded in uncertainty.
Given the lack of an extension clause in his contract, Asensio is scheduled to make his way back to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) once the summer rolls around. Yet, his advisor Gaggioli is of the belief that the striker’s next pit stop should be the Italian Leagues. He strongly advocates a shift to Serie A for the Spanish international.
Gaggioli, despite not being his official representative, holds a special place for Marco in his heart. He is far from surprised at the successful start Asensio is enjoying in the Premier League, stating, “He’s an invaluable player who, when utilized in his specialty, can change the game at any level.”
Gaggioli further went on to state, “I would definitely suggest him to any team in Italy. Regardless of where he goes, if he is given the chance to perform in his preferred position, he will always shine.”
Before making the switch to Aston Villa, the Spanish ace was reportedly ‘offered’ to Inter Milan, one of the stalwarts of Serie A. This was confirmed by the Italian club’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio, last week.
Gaggioli also shed light on the fact that Asensio garnering interest from Serie A isn’t a recent development. He hinted at a potential move to Italy for the striker when the summer transfer window reopens, saying, “There was a time when he could have donned the Milan jersey. Prior to his stint in Madrid, I had discussions with Roma, but things didn’t materialize. This was back in 2014.”
As the summer draws closer, the future of this Spanish starlet hangs in balance. Will he return to PSG, or will he land in the rich football culture of Italy? The football fraternity awaits with bated breath as the transfer window promises to bring some exciting changes.
