Marco Asensio has hinted that he is unhappy he wasn’t offered Cristiano Ronaldo’s No7 jersey this summer.
The number was free after the Portuguese superstar joined Juventus in July.
But striker Mariano Diaz was given the historic jersey after he re-signed from Lyon last month.
Now, the 22-year-old, who has five years remaining on his contract at the Bernabeu, has hinted his unhappiness with the decision.
“I wouldn’t want to finish my career with the number 20 shirt, I say everything with that,” said Asension, who wears the No20 jersey at present.
“If I wanted to change it? Yes, we will see what happens.
“With Cristiano or without him I have the same aim of having a first-team place and being important.
“So far so good, I have started the season well and I am working well.”
Asensio has scored 21 goals in 95 appearances for the Spanish giants since making his debut in 2016.
