As last summer drew to a close and Mago Assinsio's contract expired, Real Madrid's sights turned to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). I thought my career was about to take a new leap forward, but it wasn't to be, and I was never able to secure a place in the starting lineup. After making a brief appearance in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League last eight, the 28-year-old Spanish international was substituted at half-time, leaving ripples in his heart, and Defensa Central have revealed that Mago Acincio regrets stepping through the door and is eager to return to Real Madrid.
During his time at Real Madrid, Mago Assinsio had a great run, but salary issues eventually pushed him to sign a fat contract with PSG. Although he became rich, he wasn't happy inside. As a wing forward, he didn't feel the strong support behind Real Madrid, nor did he gain the trust of Barcelona help PSG coach Anriki. In this season's Ligue 1, he only made 14 appearances, of which only 9 were positive, and his performance was not satisfactory.
Despite his limited appearances, Mago Acinsio has struggled to play his specialty role as a wing forward on the field. For example, in the first round of the Europa League's top eight against Barcelona, Anriki played him in a false 9 role, which was not as effective as it could have been. At the end of the first half, he was replaced by 21-year-old youngster Baggao.
The switch is said to have added to the frustration of an already downbeat Mago Acincio, who has begun to think about the future. Despite the fact that he still has two years left on his contract, Real Madrid have been actively pursuing a rejuvenation policy in recent years, and it is expected that there will not be a place for the veteran. If he wants to get a new lease of life, he may need to consider joining another team.
