- Marco Asensio is not considered expendable at the Bernabeu despite disappointing form, report Diario AS.
- The winger's only contributed 2 goals and 2 assists in 24 league appearances this season.
- However, at 25, there is a lot of time for him to grow and develop - and become essential in Madrid's front three.
- Asensio was bought for just €3.5m from Mallorca and now has a €700m release clause - inserted in his 2017 new deal with Los Blancos.
- Since then Madrid have rejected several big-money offers for the winger - and hope to have him around to partner the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, all going well.
- Little is expected of Eden Hazard at this stage, as he's suffered injury after injury, Diario add.
