Marco Asensio, who was living with Lee Kang-in in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), landed in the English Premier League (EPL).
Aston Villa announced on its official website on the 4th (Korea Standard Time) "We are pleased to announce the signing of Asensio, who has won three UEFA Champions League titles, from PSG."It announced that it had signed a lease with Asensio until this season. According to leading reporters, Villa will cover all of Asensio's remaining salary for the rest of the season.
Asensio is a player who showed good potential by growing up in Mallorca when he was a prospect. In his second year in Mallorca, he led his team to promotion with outstanding performances in Spain's second division. Real boldly recruited Asensio as it grew further even after coming to La Liga in Spain. Asensio, a versatile, Spanish native, is starting to be recognized as Real's future.
But at Real, which has many of the best players in the world, Asensio has had difficulty becoming a starting player. He has risen to his position as a rotation member in Real, but he has not grown into a key resource. In important games, they often failed to play or were pushed to the bench.

Although he experienced a lot of championships with Real, he shared a glorious era, but Asensio wanted to play as a main player. After the 2022-2023 season, Asensio decided to move to PSG. It was expected to secure more playing time at PSG, but Asensio failed to make the main jump due to injury. PSG coach Luis Enrique did not trust Asensio 100%.
It was the same this season. Coach Enrique tried to appoint Asensio in a zero-top tactic without an authentic striker at the beginning of the season, but eventually began to use Lee Kang-in after his lack of performance. Asensio's playing time was further reduced, eventually deciding to move the team midway through the season.
With Asensio leaving, Lee Kang-in will be disappointed. The two players have played in Mallorca, although the timing is different. Lee Kang-in, who speaks Spanish like his mother tongue, actually stayed very close to Asensio at PSG. But in the world of competition, there is no such thing as a friend. Asensio left Lee Kang-in's side for a while.

Asensio is expected to have more chances to play in the villa. Asensio's ability to play from the second line to the front line is inevitably preferred by coach Unai Emery, who likes multiplayer. John Duran, who left for Saudi Arabia in the transfer window this winter, is expected to fill the void with Marcus Rashford.
