Despite being a target to so many clubs,Marco Asensio has come to announce his disintrest in leaving Madrid and want to stay and fight for a place in the starting line up.
Asensio came off the bench in the Champions league final against Juv and gave the last goal in a match that ended a 4-1 win in which they won the trophy.
The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season, Although Asensio only started 11 Liga games for Zinedine Zidane's side, the midfielder became an increasingly important player for the Frenchman in the second half of the season as he rotated his squad to keep star names including Cristiano Ronaldo fit for the run-in.
And the Spain international says he plans to reject any advances to remain at Madrid for the new campaign, while he is targeting more medals to add to his collection.
"My intention is to stay at Real Madrid and to earn a lot of minutes," Asensio told reporters at a Spain press conference on Thursday. "My goal is to be a starter at Real Madrid"There were moments when I didn't play, but I wanted to make the most of any chances the coach afforded me and I finished up in good form.
"I wasn't used to not playing. Yet I worked hard to make the most of the opportunities I got and I was able to finish the season well."
As well as Asensio, Alvaro Morata and James Rodriguez have both been linked with moves away from Madrid after failing to make Zidane's starting XI for the Champions League final - Rodriguez missing out altogether - but Asensio is hoping both players stay at Santiago Bernabeu.
"This is something for them and the club," Asensio added. "I hope that they both remain as they're great players and have helped me a lot throughout the season.
"With the national team I want to nail down my place in the squad and with Real Madrid I will try to get more minutes, more important minutes, and continue winning titles."
