Cubarsi and Asencio have great growth potential. |
In the latest update of Transfermarkt , Asencio's price increased from 7.5 to 30 million euros. His stable performance in Real Madrid's shirt has helped this 22-year-old talent be highly appreciated by experts.
In La Liga, Asencio has made 15 appearances. In the Champions League, he has appeared 8 times. From a player who was just promoted from the academy by coach Carlo Ancelotti this season, Asencio has made a leap forward to become a mainstay of Real Madrid's defense, replacing the injured Eder Militao and David Alaba.
Meanwhile, Cubarsi also increased from 40 to 70 million euros, a dream number for an 18-year-old center-back. Under coach Hansi Flick, Cubarsi was highly appreciated and promoted his ability. This season, the 18-year-old center-back has 27 appearances in La Liga and 9 appearances in the Champions League.

Cubarsi and Asencio are considered the future central defenders of the Spanish national team. The duo, worth a total of 100 million euros, are gradually proving their ability in both domestic and European competitions.
During the March training camp, coach Luis de la Fuente called up both Asencio and Cubarsi. However, Cubarsi was injured in the 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in the Nations League on March 21. He was sent back to Barcelona for treatment. Asencio was only a substitute in the last match.
On March 20, Cubarsi spoke about his connection with Asencio: "He had an excellent season. I think the two can become a good pair."
Apart from Cubarsi and Asencio, Spain still has another promising centre-back in Dean Huijsen. The 19-year-old is playing for Bournemouth and has attracted the attention of many big clubs. Cubarsi, Huijsen and Asencio have great potential and will be the future of the Spanish defence.
