Real Madrid star Asensio is currently flourishing, with the Spain international benefitting from Ronaldo’s decision to join Juventus back in July. The 33-year-old opted to jump ship to Turin in order to achieve pay parity with Lionel Messi and Neymar.

He has, however, revealed he was not offered the chance to take Ronaldo’s iconic No 7 shirt.
