Real Madrid youngster Marco Asensio reportedly agrees a new long-term contract with the Spanish giants

Spanish attacker Marco Asensio has reportedly agreed a new long-term contract with Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old joined Real Madrid from Mallorca in 2014, but has still not represented Los Blancos after a loan spell at his former club and a season-long loan at Espanyol last term.

It had been thought that Asensio would also spend the 2016-17 campaign out on loan, but his 10 assists and four goals in 34 La Liga appearances last season are believed to have convinced Zinedine Zidane to make the midfielder part of his first-team plans for the new season.

According to various reports in Spain, Real Madrid offered Asensio a new contract until June 2022 and a deal that included a rise in salary and release clause was quickly accepted by the youngster.

Asensio, who signed a six-year contract at Real Madrid in December 2014, made his Spain debut against Bosnia-Herzegovina before Euro 2016.
