5 players that can break the world transfer record

#2 Marco Asensio (Real Madrid)

Marco Asensio has been the shining beacon of hope at Real Madrid

In an otherwise lacklustre and disappointing season for Los Blancos, Marco Asensio's meteoric rise is one of the few positives they can look at.

The 22-year-old has an impressive resume when it comes to winning trophies and has given memorable performances in big games for Real Madrid.

Scoring a goal in the Champions League final at just 21 and being the best performer against Barcelona in the absence of Ronaldo tells you the lad has enough potential to be a future legend.

It is really uncommon to see a youngster thrive in a club like Real Madrid; it is a club that has the best players in every concerned position.

In spite of those challenges, Asensio has done pretty well, establishing himself as a core member of the squad.

The Spaniard signed a contract extension last year and has a release clause of £442 million. Here's a player whose left foot is second best to Lionel Messi according to Zinedine Zidane. So, would you hesitate in breaking Neymar's record now?

Adding to that, impressive performances in the World Cup will surely skyrocket his value in the market.
