Marco Asensio reportedly wants to reunite with former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.
According to Tuttosport, Madrid ‘perceive some movement’ from Asensio towards Juve, the winger have been ‘captivated’ by the reception Ronaldo received from Juve fans last season.
The newspaper explains Alvaro Morata ‘also told him wonderful things about Turin and the Bianconeri’ during their time together at the Allianz Stadium.
Furthermore, the Spaniard would be of the opinion that he can take ‘a further leap in quality’ under Max Allegri, citing the cases of Morata and Paul Pogba.
Asensio was thought to be one of the players who would step up in the No 7’s absence, but the 22-year-old surprisingly warned ‘it’s not up to me to carry this team’ earlier in the week.

If he wants to go then go! Don’t waste our time. Madrid doesn’t have time. Here you have to perform at the highest quality. They gave him the chance by not buying a replacement for Cristiano and he did what? Vinicius in 2-3 matches did more than him.

1st Marcelo now Asensio. Players shouldn't moce just because of another player. If they are going to move because of that, they betterr bring their top quality with them. Marcelo us understandable but Asensio has alot more to work on. He's not just gonna be put on just because he came from Real.

Because they(Present Real Madrid players) know that they are not going to win any trophy after Ronaldo's Departure.
4 matches, 4 wins, 3 clean sheets and 15 goals scored......they are back without Ronaldo.....and think so James will return at Madrid.....Read the news....they are saying Asensio wants to join Juve because Ronaldo has got good reviews form Juve fans......
