Real Madrid news: Marco Asensio aims dig at Barcelona over Neymar transfer

Neymar emerged as one of Barcelona’s most important players during his four years at the Nou Camp, contributing to 185 goals in his 186 appearances.
But the Brazil international opted to leave Barcelona in the summer to become the main man at Paris Saint-Germain, who triggered his mammoth £200million release clause.
Neymar has settled effortlessly into the French side, helping PSG to four Ligue 1 victories with four goals and as many assists.
And Real Madrid attacking midfielder Asensio has questioned how Barca failed to keep hold of the 25-year-old forward.

"It seemed strange to us that Neymar left Barcelona,” Asensio told El Partidazo de Cope.
“He was an important player for them and [the fact] that they could not keep him is a little strange."
Asensio has also been linked with a move to PSG, but the 21-year-old Spain international insists he has no desire to leave the Bernabeu.
