Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez has told Marco Asensio he would regret it if he left the club.
That was before the Spanish attacker departed the Santiago Bernabeu last year, according to a report from Real Madrid Confidencial.
Asensio left the Chairman League and La Liga champions on a free transfer to PSG in the 2023 summer window.
He joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2015 and spent a season-long loan at Espanyol.
During his subsequent seven years with the La Liga giants, he played a total of 286 appearances, contributing 61 goals and 32 assists.
The midfielder won honours at Real Madrid including three La Liga titles, three Champions League trophies, and four FIFA Club World Cups.
Despite the success and his contribution, Asensio struggled to establish himself in the starting XI.
As a result, the Spain international was keen on an exit last year after the expiration of his contract.
While Madrid’s hierarchy reportedly made attempts to lock him down on a new deal, Asensio opted to leave for PSG on a free.
According to a report from Real Madrid Confidential, Perez told Asensio (via Madrid Universal):
“If you leave, you will regret it.”
