Real Madrid Eyes 17-Year-Old Talent
Real Madrid's youth academy has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks, as club officials rely on it to offset a series of injuries to the first team. The Merengues are looking to strengthen this area in the coming months, with Tenerife midfielder Aaron Martin emerging as a key target. According to Relevo, Los Blancos are interested in Martin, who has impressed in Segunda with the Canaries, making 8 first-team appearances this season and even scoring his first goal.
However, Sevilla currently holds the upper hand in the race to sign the talented midfielder. Martin is not the only name on the Merengues' radar; Castilla and Real Madrid C are in need of reinforcements due to injuries and player promotions. Celta Vigo defender Javi Rodriguez was also on their list but has recently signed a new contract, while midfielders Diego Mendez from Leganes and Naim from Rayo Vallecano are also players of interest. It has recently been reported that Carlo Ancelotti is not fully convinced by the training options at his disposal, despite La Fabrica being considered one of the best academies in Spain. It regularly produces footballers who go on to have brilliant careers, but rarely at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is turning to its youth academy, La Fabrica, to address injury challenges affecting the first team. With a focus on enhancing their youth setup, the club has identified Tenerife's 17-year-old midfielder, Aaron Martin, as a key target. Martin has caught attention in Segunda División, making eight first-team appearances and scoring his debut goal this season. Despite Real Madrid's interest, Sevilla currently leads the race to secure the young talent, according to Relevo.
Martin is not the only prospect on Real Madrid's radar. The club is also monitoring other players, including Diego Mendez from Leganes and Naim from Rayo Vallecano, as Castilla and Real Madrid C struggle with injuries and player promotions. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo defender Javi Rodriguez was a candidate before recently renewing his contract with his current club.
Although La Fabrica is renowned for producing players with successful careers, few make it to Real Madrid's first team. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly expressed doubts about the quality of training options available, despite the academy’s prestigious reputation in Spanish football.
