Marco Asensio requested for 'emergency talks'

Marco Asensio has reportedly requested for 'emergency talks' with Real Madrid after reports emerge that Arsenal are interested in signing the Spanish this summer. 

The 21-year-old made 38 appearances for Real Madrid last season, scored 10 in all competitions, and Premier League side likes Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United all keen on landing the striker. 

According to The Mirror, Asensio has no interest in leaving Real Madrid, but wants a new contract at the Bernabeu to reflect his growing importance to the team.

The report adds that Arsenal are prepared to activate Asensio's £72m release clause, and the attacker will look to use the interest to ensure that his salary is improved.

Asensio, who is a three-time Spain international, joined Real Madrid from Mallorca in 2014, but did not make his first-team debut for Los Blancos until last season after a loan spell at Espanyol.
