An in-demand Real Madrid star who is reportedly set to leave the club as a free agent is now said to have already decided who his next team will be.
Several departures are expected at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the month with seven stars soon to be out of contract, including Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Mariano Diaz, Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.

Croatia midfielder Modric will reportedly sign a one-year extension, according to transfer journalistt Fabrizio Romano, while it is believed his German midfield partner Kroos will do the same.
Benzema, on the other hand, is the subject of heavy speculation linking him with a sensational move to Saudi Arabia, where his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo currently resides, although he plays for a different team to the one that reportedly wants to sign the Frenchman.
Diaz and Asensio are also said to be guaranteed exits in the coming weeks, with the latter now believed to have decided who his next club will be.
According to The Athletic, the Spaniard will join Paris Saint-Germain on a long-term deal after the conclusion of his Real contract later this month.
It is claimed the 27-year-old has already agreed to a deal worth €10 million (R210 million) a season until 2027, although any contract is yet to be signed.
After eight years at the club, Asensio is said to have decided last month that he will not accept a new contract from the LaLiga giants, with rumours also linking him with moves to Aston Villa, Chelsea and FC Barcelona, as well as clubs in Italy.
French pundit and former PSG winger Jerome Rothen, however, has expressed his doubts about Les Parisiens' potential signing of Asensio.
"I like Asensio," he said, according to PSGtalk. "At Real, he was barred by stronger. But if he comes to PSG, he does not come for the right reasons. Putting on the PSG or Chelsea jersey, he doesn't care.
"Then 8 million euros (sic) per year for an additional player… Paris is a pigeon club. He's a free player, so it's normal to make efforts to attract him, but the player shouldn't come just for the financial aspect."
