This is the sort of player that we think we can sign, but ends up at Arsenal or the Dippers instead

Hate to say it, but IF there is even an iota of truth to this report then it might be because Eriksen is going the other way.
WTF GH? If this happens it is your fault because you started the bad juju. That said, there are worse landings than Asensio from an Eriksen fall. I believe Fraizer Campbell is still playing.

There will be a new manager at Madrid in the summer and that squad needs a massive overhaul (imo), I'd be shocked if they sold him in the winter window

This. They've pretty much come to the end of the lifecycle of the Ronaldo/Modric/Ramos-era team and need to rebuild for the next generation. Makes absolutely zero sense for them to sell one of their best young players.

There’s no point thinking about this never going to happen... imagine for a second it was a possibility Real would demand all sorts of buyback conditions, Levy wouldn’t entertain

The marca article apparently states that asensio has turned our approach down anyway so complete non story now.

But he might change his mind when he sees us in our new stadum, in the latter stages of the CL, and that Eriksen is going to push him further away from being a regular started (should that scenario play out).

I'd rather keep Eriksen, but think the value may be in getting the best youngster we can from them + a wedge of cash.

Although Isco is currently better, if there was a chance and Eriksen really wanted to go to RM, i would choose Asensio over Isco.

it does not matter who you would or would not choose because we are still seen as below some of these players and asensio has already said not interested in us .
I would only want players that genuinely want to come to us and not players that think they are doing us a favour.

The only top tier player that might qualify then is Bale

Any time we deal with RM we have to bring our own lube. Whenever Real phone him Levy should just breathe heavily for a while and then ask them in the creepiest voice possible "What are you wearing?"

It worked for me. I hardly ever get cold-callers nowadays (y).
