MARCO ASENSIO has reportedly sacked his agent – and that could put Arsenal and Newcastle on red alert.
The Real Madrid man continues to be linked with a transfer away from the Bernabeu this summer.
But with no deal done, he is said to have ditched his representatives to get a transfer over the line before deadline day.
As reported by El Larguero, the playmaker – who used to be looked after by Horacio Gaggioli – made the decision in order to "find a way out" of Madrid.
However, the Spanish radio station claim there have been no official offers tabled for the 26-year-old yet.
It is thought, though, that AC Milan have been in contact with Jorge Mendes, who could be dealing with Asensio's potential switch.

He is into the final year of his Bernabeu contract and looks increasingly unlikely to pen an extension after allegedly rejecting a previous offer.
Only Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr scored more than Asensio's 12 goals and he wanted a wage increase to reflect his impressive 2021-22 season.
But that has, so far, not been forthcoming – paving the way for an exit.
