NEWS – After a loan spell with Aston Villa, Marco Asensio is back in Paris, but his future at Paris Saint-Germain appears increasingly uncertain. The Spanish attacker, at 29, is looking for a way out of a delicate situation at the Parc des Princes as the new season approaches. An ambitious club in Turkey is reportedly stepping up to offer him a new opportunity away from the French capital.
Returning to PSG after a somewhat mixed loan at Aston Villa (3 goals in 13 appearances), Asensio finds himself at a crossroads. Under contract until 2026, the former Real Madrid player is clearly no longer in the plans of the Parisian club, fresh off their Champions League triumph. His market value has dipped after a season spent largely on the sidelines.

Aston Villa, initially interested in making his move permanent, ultimately decided against a definitive transfer. As a result, Asensio returns to Paris facing an unclear future, with limited prospects for playing time within an even more competitive squad.
In light of this situation, Fenerbahçe has emerged as a strong contender. According to AS, the Turkish club, known for its ambitious transfer strategy and desire to reclaim its dominant position in the Super Lig, has placed Asensio on its priority list. Coach Jose Mourinho has redefined the club’s sporting priorities, and the Portuguese manager sees the Spanish winger as an ideal starter to bolster his right flank.
Fenerbahçe, keen to complete several key signings this summer including Jhon Duran and Milan Skriniar intends to continue discussions with PSG for a loan deal for Asensio. The idea is to convince the French club to cover a portion of the player’s salary. Nevertheless, a permanent transfer is not out of the question, AS reports.
As the transfer window heats up, Marco Asensio represents a priority target for Jose Mourinho. His ability to adapt quickly, his European experience, and his versatility make him a significant asset for Fenerbahçe, who are clearly determined to make a strong statement this summer.
