Real Madrid Promotes Raul Asencio to First Team Despite Recent Struggles
Real Madrid has officially registered Raul Asencio in their first team squad for La Liga, marking a significant step for the young defender despite his recent poor performances. While he was previously seen as a promising player and part of the club's plans, his form during the FIFA Club World Cup raised concerns, with notable mistakes in early matches fueling speculation about his future at the club.
Asencio played an important role for Real Madrid last season but was mostly a reserve player wearing the number 35 jersey. Now, he has secured a place in the senior squad as part of a contract extension signed months ago, though his new squad number has yet to be announced. This promotion reflects the club’s continued faith in his potential despite recent setbacks.
Real Madrid's decision to keep Asencio in the first team will also depend on the performances of key defenders like Éder Militão, Antonio Rüdiger, and David Alaba, with Dean Huijsen currently considered the only irreplaceable starter in defense. Asencio’s future with the club could still change, particularly if his form does not improve.
Last season, Asencio appeared 23 times in La Liga, contributing to six clean sheets and averaging nearly nine defensive actions per game. His ability to rebound and perform consistently will be crucial for maintaining his position within Real Madrid’s competitive squad.
