Raul Asencio Linked with Everton and West Ham Move
March 26th 2026, 17:00

Real Madrid’s defender Raul Asencio is reportedly considering a departure from the club during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 23-year-old has had difficulty securing a consistent spot in the starting lineup, prompting the need for a change to find more playing time.
Recent reports from Spain suggest that both Everton and West Ham United are keen on acquiring Asencio. Previously, he was also associated with a potential transfer to Aston Villa last year.
Defensive Reinforcements Needed
Both Everton and West Ham have shown vulnerabilities in their defensive lineups, making improvements essential. Asencio, viewed as a promising talent, could benefit from regular play in the Premier League, and both clubs would greatly benefit from his addition.
As both clubs explore the possibility of signing him, it’s unknown whether they will officially approach Real Madrid. The Spanish team appears ready to allow the defender to leave, intending to create space in their squad for new signings this summer.
Future Prospects for Asencio
The upcoming decisions from Everton and West Ham regarding their interest in Asencio will be closely watched. Given his current predicament at Real Madrid, he may be available at a reasonable price. The club is unlikely to impose a high transfer fee that would hinder his opportunity to move.
If he can make a significant impact at either Premier League side, it might lead to greater opportunities down the line.
