Transfer – Asensio leaves PSG, full agreement reached with Fenerbahçe | OneFootball

Marco Asensio, a midfielder/forward for Paris Saint-Germain aged 29 and under contract until 2026, has not managed to fully establish himself under coach Luis Enrique. As a result, he was loaned to Aston Villa for the second half of the 2024-2025 season but was not retained by the English club. Ultimately, Fenerbahçe has reportedly taken the lead to recruit him. According to SportsDigitale and confirmed by SportMediaset, a total agreement has been reached between the two clubs and the player. PSG has given the green light, and Asensio is set to undergo his medical examination in Istanbul. Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto have both confirmed this as well.

The transfer of Marco Asensio (28 years old) perfectly illustrates the strategy pursued by Paris Saint-Germain during this summer transfer window. Until the very last hours, the Parisian board dedicated considerable energy to lightening the squad by finding exits for players deemed undesirable. Luis Campos and his teams engaged in numerous discussions to reduce an overcrowded and sometimes unbalanced locker room.

Asensio's departure adds to an already long list of transferred or loaned players, symbolizing a clear intent: to provide Luis Enrique with a more compact, competitive group free from costly redundancies. In this final sprint, each case handled is seen as a small victory, allowing PSG to reduce the wage bill and prepare for a more rational cycle where performance takes precedence over prestigious names.
