Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio remains committed to securing a place in the squad despite current uncertainties. According to AS, the academy graduate is focused on convincing new manager Jose Mourinho to keep him at the club. Since returning from his summer break, Asencio's dedication to Mourinho's cause has impressed the coaching staff.
His recovery from a muscle injury has progressed faster than anticipated, and he has even joined in on training sessions ahead of schedule. However, his future remains uncertain due to a lingering tibial issue and increased competition for the position following the arrival of Ibrahima Konate. Asencio has shown his versatility by requesting Dani Carvajal's No. 2 shirt, a tribute to the Real Madrid legend and another academy product.
Wearing the number could represent a personal connection to Carvajal and highlight Asencio's adaptability, which could prove valuable to Mourinho, especially in a backline already bolstered by additional talent.
