"Marco Asensio joins PSG for money"

Former Paris Saint-Germain player Jerome Rothen gave his opinion on the possible arrival of Marco Asensio at the Parisian club next season and revealed that the striker has been attracted by an offer of 8 million euros a year.

"I like Asensio. At Real Madrid he wasn't a starter because there were better players. But if he comes to PSG, he's not coming for the right reasons. Putting on the shirt of PSG or Chelsea, it doesn't matter to him, he doesn't care," said the former player.

And in the same vein, he launched the information: "He would come for the 8 million euros a year that they would offer him, quite simply. He is a free player, so it is normal to make efforts to attract him, but the player should not come just for the economic aspect".

Asensio will not renew his contract with Real Madrid and will leave for free in the middle of the year. Everything seemed to indicate that his future would be in the Premier League, where he was wanted by Aston Villa. However, everything changed in the last few hours.

The French media report that the striker will sign for PSG thanks to the involvement of his agent, Jorge Mendes. The Parisian side will use the Spanish international to fill the void left by Lionel Messi for the upcoming season.
