Malaga Keen On Atletico Madrid Goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo - Report

Highly rated glovesman Sergio Asenjo could be on his way out of Europa League holders Atletico Madrid as La Liga side Malaga have shown an interest in signing the promising goalkeeper, according to a report in Marca.

Malaga have been in disappointing form this season and currently sit 18th in the table. They have already conceded 35 goals in 16 outings and head coach Manuel Pellegrini is desperate to strengthen his squad.

The former Real Madrid gaffer has reportedly made the capture of a new keeper his primary target and he supposedly sees the 21-year-old Asenjo as the perfect signing.

Asenjo started his professional career with Real Valladolid and moved to Atletico in the summer of 2009. However, a serious knee injury halted his progress and the Spain under-21 star has mainly been warming the bench since his return to full match fitness.

Therefore, Asenjo could be on his way out of the Rojiblancos in the January transfer window in order to get regular first team action elsewhere.
