Real Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly warned Marco Asensio that he would regret leaving the club before the Spanish attacker departed the Santiago Bernabeu last year, according to Real Madrid Confidencial.
Asensio exited the Champions League and La Liga champions in the summer of 2023, joining PSG on a free transfer. The midfielder initially signed with Real Madrid in 2015 and spent a season on loan at Espanyol before establishing himself in the squad.
Over seven seasons with the La Liga giants, Asensio made 286 appearances, scoring 61 goals and providing 32 assists. During his tenure, he won several major honors, including three La Liga titles, three Champions League trophies, and four FIFA Club World Cups.

Despite his contributions, Asensio struggled to secure a consistent spot in the starting XI, prompting his desire for a move after his contract expired. While Real Madrid’s management reportedly attempted to extend his stay with a new deal, Asensio chose to join PSG.
Real Madrid Confidencial reports that Perez cautioned him, saying, “If you leave, you will regret it.”
