Fenerbahçe May Part Ways with Asensio During the Mid-Season Break

Fenerbahçe has seen a new development regarding the future of Marco Asensio. The Spanish footballer, who has been unable to play consistently due to injuries since his transfer, underwent surgery for a cartilage lesion in his left knee. The club announced that the arthroscopic operation carried out in Spain was successful.

The rehabilitation process is expected to take about 3 months. For this reason, the player is expected to stay away from the pitch until the mid-season break. Club doctor Ahmet Kulduk had previously said that a cartilage lesion was detected behind the kneecap and that the decision for surgery was made after different expert opinions.

According to a report in Sabah newspaper, the management has decided to part ways with Asensio during the mid-season break. The club wants to open a place in its foreign player quota with his departure, as he could not be sent away from the team at the start of the season due to the reaction of fans. Spanish clubs Real Betis and Real Mallorca are reported to be interested in a transfer. The management will evaluate offers from the two clubs and reportedly plans to reach an agreement with the team that makes the highest bid.

Asensio, who transferred from PSG to Fenerbahçe last season, was unable to play in a total of 15 matches due to knee, thigh, cruciate ligament and muscle problems. It is claimed that he could be sent to Real Betis or Real Mallorca in the January transfer window.
