Sources: Everton prepare €30m move for Real Madrid academy defender According to a recent report from Fichajes , Premier League side Everton are ready to formalise their interest with a €30 million offer for Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio. The Merseyside club see Asencio as a player who could reshape their defensive structure for the coming years. A major factor behind this development is the player’s current situation in Madrid .

Despite being highly rated within the club, Asencio has struggled to secure consistent minutes under Alvaro Arbeloa. While he has featured regularly enough to show glimpses of his ability, 19 league appearances and 30 across all competitions, there remains a sense that his role has not fully stabilised. That uncertainty has naturally led the 23-year-old to consider his options.

At this stage of his career, regular playing time is not just desirable, it is essential. A move away from Madrid, therefore, is no longer unthinkable if it guarantees him a more prominent role. Everton are ready to act Everton are interested in Raul Asencio.
