Madrid sports tabloid As claims that Barcelona will have to move in the coming weeks for Valladolid goalkeeper and Spanish youth international Sergio Asenjo (19).Atlético Madrid would already have made a formal proposal to Fernando Redondo and Zoran Vekic, the agents of the player, and is now waiting for the answer.
Asenjo would have been offered to sign a five-year deal including a serious pay rise. Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Asenjo is Atlético's first choice to replace goalkeeper Leo Franco, who would already have found an agreement with Turkish club Galatasaray. As claims that Villarreal would also be interested in the Spanish goalkeeper.
Once they have the approval of Asenjo, Atlético Madrid will start negotiating a transfer deal with Valladolid, who already has been informed about Atlético's interest to sign Asenjo. Although the goalkeeper has a buyout clause of 5,5 million euro°, Valladolid would be planning ask a transfer fee of 6 million euro plus the loan of two Atlético players.
Asenjo would still be in doubt about his future. The player's agent Zoran Vekic would have promised Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain that Asenjo won't make a final decision before giving Barcelona a last chance to talk with him. It is nevertheless believed that a transfer could be finalized before the end of the season, which means that Barcelona should soon make the player a proposal and clearify the position of current Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés.
