Real Madrid have temporarily halted contract negotiations with rising star Raul Asencio due to an ongoing legal matter.
Asencio has been a standout performer for the club this season earning a starting spot in Carlo Ancelotti squad and a call-up to the Spanish national team.
The defender current contract expires in the summer of 2026 and Real Madrid had been in advanced talks to offer him a new five-year deal.
However the club has decided to pause negotiations until the outcome of Asencio legal issue is resolved.
He is accused of disseminating a child pornography which he spoke about publicly earlier this week.
According to reports Real Madrid are confident that Asencio will be cleared and if that is the case they will resume contract talks.
The club is eager to secure Asencio long-term future and remove any uncertainty surrounding his commitment.
