MADRID: Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio confirmed his exit from the club at the end of the season with a letter on social media on Saturday.

“From a very young age, when I was just taking my first steps in soccer, I was fond of wearing wearing this glorious white T-shirt. Real Madrid became my passion, my dream and my highest goal. And thanks to the trust placed in me by the club, I have had the privilege of making that dream come true during these wonderful years.”

The Spain international did not confirm his next destination but has reports have linked him to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The 27-year-old winger signed from Real Mallorca in 2014, spending a season on loan at Espanyol before making his Madrid debut in August 2016. Agencies
