One of the greatest footballer in the world Lionel Messi wouldn’t fit in at Real Madrid at this present moment, according to wonder kid Marco Asensio.
Messi, who is the five times Ballon d’Or winner, has been consistently compared to Los Blancos forward Cristiano Ronaldo, with the pair seen as the best two players in the world, but Asensio believes the set-up at Madrid is already good enough without the potential addition of the Argentina international.
Asensio is happy with the Madrid squad as is and when asked if Messi would fit in at Madrid, the 21 year told Marca: “Not right now. The equipment is very good as it is. If we stay as we are, it’s perfect.” Also Read: Cristiano Ronaldo ‘wants to leave’ Real Madrid after being accused of tax fraud: Reports
