Marca: Ashraf still cares about Real Madrid, but Real Madrid is satisfied with signing Arnold s transfer

Hupu, October 6, According to the Spanish media "Marca" Real Madrid reporter JOS ÉFÉLIXDÍAZ, the media talked about the relationship and situation between the Paris right-back and Real Madrid.

The Moroccan international once again showed world-class standards in the second round of the Champions League match against Barcelona last week, and his outstanding performance aroused public doubts about his failure to gain a foothold in Real Madrid that year. Despite the desire to play for the childhood dream club, reality failed to do so. In the European court on Wednesday, as Paris's main right-back, he once again proved his ability to create threats on the offensive end.

Similar to Kavajal, Ashraf is one of the most valuable players cultivated by Real Madrid's youth training system. Kavajal ranked fourth in the 2024 Golden Globes, and Ashraf also won the sixth place in this year's selection. It was precisely because of Kavajal's stable performance that Ashraf clearly realized that his chances of getting a regular starter at Real Madrid were slim, so he decided to leave.

Ashraf performed well in all age groups in Real Madrid. Unlike Carvajal's growth trajectory, he was directly on the first team roster, but was constrained by the club's financial balance needs and was eventually loaned to Dortmund for training. In the Bundesliga, he quickly transformed into a top wingback. In the summer of 2020, Inter Milan recruited it for 43 million euros, and Paris Saint-Germain spent 68 million euros to bring it to the Ligue 1 arena just one year later.

Ashraf has repeatedly publicly admitted that he has never taken the initiative to leave Real Madrid, but the right to decide whether the player stays or leaves is always in the hands of the club. Although there have been many rumors of returning in recent years, there has never been a mature transfer opportunity. Real Madrid signed Liverpool defender Arnold this summer and had high hopes for him. They are satisfied with the joining of the England right-back, which also makes the road to return gradually fade away.

It is worth noting that Ashraf's close friend Mbappe has now become a "special bond" in Real Madrid's locker room, and the close personal relationship between the two may add variables to potential transfers in the future. In order to prevent problems before they happen, Paris Saint-Germain has taken countermeasures to extend Ashraf's contract to 2029.
