On the eve of Real Madrid's last game of the season, Marco Asensio made official his decision not to accept the white club's renewal proposal and close a seven-year spell at the white house, to start a new one outside of Spain.
"Dear Real Madrid fans, I address you with a lump in my throat and a heart full of mixed feelings," Asensio announced on his social media. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to Real Madrid."
Marco Asensio leaves Real Madrid as the 19th player with the most titles won with Real Madrid, tied with the legend Alfredo di Stéfano with 17, after winning three Champions Leagues, three Leagues, four Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, three Spanish Super Cups and one Copa del Rey.
He is the player with the 46th most games played in the history of the white club, with 285, which against Athletic Club will be 286 in one afternoon at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in which he will say goodbye to Real Madrid. He has scored 61 goals.
