Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio is believed to have told manager Zinedine Zidane that he will leave the club unless he is guaranteed more minutes this season.
Asensio is regarded as one of Europe's most promising talents but has only managed four starts in La Liga this season, reportedly due to Zidane's lack of faith in the player.
The 21-year-old looks to be standing his ground, however, and The Mirror reports that he has warned Zidane to give him more minutes or risk losing his services.
The Spaniard, who has scored more goals this term than Cristiano Ronaldo, signed a new contract in the summer to keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2023.
If Asensio's Madrid tenure is cut short, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is understood to be interested in bringing the player to the Etihad.
