How should an asexual approach marriage in Islam?

I'm 27M. Unlike many questions about asexuality on this forum, I do want to get married but I would want my wife to know about it. I don't think I would be repulsed by intimacy but I wouldn't know if I would be able to enjoy it or even perform in that context as much as I would like to due to not having sexual attraction. I have also never felt any crushes throughout my life which falls under the aromantic spectrum

This is a controversial topic when it comes to marriage as this is not something I can bring up right away but there is a high chance that this would be a deal breaker irrespective of how much I speak with someone before hand.

It's things like these which have led me to pause my search for marriage. My parents have hesitation in me discussing this as part of arranged marriages as it can spread amongst family. I always banked on an arranged marriage and was never interested in dating anyone due to the religion and because it was never something that was very important being an asexual

Any advice on how to approach this so I can stay away from haram in the long term?

Edit: Thanks a lot to all those who commented/will comment. I've read all of them and will reply to each slowly throughout the day
