Spain begins their tournament against Costa Rica on Wednesday before a tough second game against Germany on Sunday. Asensio is pleased to be part of the squad and is hoping to add to the 31 caps he has won since his debut in 2016.
He added: “Yes. I am very happy to be here. It is a goal that I had for a long time and it is a joy to be here.
“I have worked a lot with my club. Luis Enrique has given me the opportunity, I have taken advantage of it and now I’m happy and looking forward to starting.”
The Spain international’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Real was willing to sell him in the summer in order to avoid the risk of losing him for free.
But Asensio has hinted that Real are now having a change of heart about his future. He insists a decision will be made after the World Cup.
