According to ESPN, the Spanish striker, currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, has accepted a offer from Turkish club Fenerbahce. Asensio was loaned to Premier League team Aston Villa by Paris in the second half of last season, and performed well in Villa, making an important contribution to the team's offensive end. It is reported that his contract with Paris is only one year left, and Fenerbahce has now started in-depth negotiations with his agent to finalize personal terms.

The 29-year-old player's annual salary during his time in Ligue 1 was as high as 14 million euros. He debuted at Real Madrid and joined Real Madrid in 2015, showing outstanding strength during his time at Real Madrid. In 2023, Asensio left Real Madrid and transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, but did not firmly take the main position in the team, so he chose to rent out and find more opportunities to play.

Asencio has made 447 appearances so far in his career, contributing 87 goals and 68 assists. He is an offensive player with comprehensive skills and strong ability to break through the wing. His joining will undoubtedly enhance Fenerbahce's frontcourt strength in the new season.

At the same time, Mourinho also expressed his trust in another striker, Eun Nesili. The striker, who once played for Sevilla, is currently receiving attention from multiple Saudi clubs, but Mourinho has made it clear to the club's management that he hopes to retain him as an important part of the team's long-term plan for the team.

The signing of Asensio and trying to retain N-Necili shows that Mourinho is actively building a more competitive roster to meet the challenges of the new season.
