Besiktas has shown interest in securing a loan deal for Raúl Asencio. The Turkish club has initiated communication with Real Madrid about the potential loan move. Asencio has not been favored by coach Xabi Alonso and has been absent from the lineup in the first three league matches of the current season. Although his contract with Real Madrid is valid until 2026, there are expectations that an extension until 2031 will be finalized. The 22-year-old Spanish defender has attracted Besiktas's interest as they look to strengthen their defense. Asencio's lackluster performance at the Club World Cup in July has played a role in his current standing at Real Madrid. Despite recent setbacks, he made 42 official appearances for his childhood club last season. Transfermarkt values the player at €40 million.
