Real Madrid has closed the door on Raúl Asencio's departure, despite Besiktas' intentions to sign him before the end of the summer transfer window in Turkey.

The Turkish club sought to incorporate the center-back before the local market closed, but in Chamartín they believe that the player remains a strategic asset for the future.

Besiktas' Interest in Raúl Asencio

The Bosphorus team is going through a sporting crisis after being eliminated from the Conference League by Lausanne, leading to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure and Sergen Yalçın's arrival as the coach. With the Turkish transfer window open until September 12, the board is looking to strengthen a weakened defense.

According to the newspaper AS, the Turks explored a one-season loan with an option for him to stay until 2026. Their idea was to add a young, fast, and promising center-back who could complement Gabriel Paulista, Tiago Djaló, and Udokhai.

Real Madrid's Protection

Real Madrid's response was clear: there is no intention to part ways with their homegrown player. In Valdebebas, they believe that despite recent ups and downs, Raúl Asencio remains a long-term project.

The rise of Dean Huijsen, along with the leadership of Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger, has relegated the youngster to a secondary role. However, the coaching staff appreciates his versatility and the fact that he has already made his debut with the Spanish national team at the age of 22.

The center-back experienced a season of contrasts in 2024-25: he secured significant minutes in the league, but occasional errors – as in the Club World Cup – impacted the team's confidence. Nonetheless, he has made 28 official appearances with a 78% success rate in duels, reinforcing the decision not to let him go.

Xabi Alonso himself believes that internal competition will strengthen the group and provide alternatives for the demanding schedule, including LaLiga, Champions, and the Copa del Rey.

The Turkish squad is going through a delicate moment. After the European elimination, the board aims to make a statement in the market. Their priority is to add a defender with authority, and Raúl Asencio fit that profile.

However, Real Madrid maintains its refusal and prefers to keep the player in the squad, thus closing the doors to an immediate transfer.

For now, the future of the homegrown player will remain tied to the Santiago Bernabéu. Although Besiktas does not rule out making another attempt in winter, the message from Real Madrid is clear: Raúl Asencio is not going anywhere.

In Turkey, there are even indications that the Ottomans have also shown interest in David Alaba, another piece of the Merengues' defense. However, everything suggests that the white defensive wall will remain intact this season.
