Ancelotti Doesn't Pay Attention to Him and Announces to Madrid His Intention to Leave

He's a player they trust, however, his situation might be the big problem they have to face

The end of the year might be more challenging than expected for Real Madrid due to a player's situation. We're referring to Jesús Fortea, who might not be comfortable with his current role. To the extent that his future is on the table and could end with his departure.

With Dani Carvajal's injury, he was one of the players expected to have more prominence in the club. He was seen training with the first team and there were even plans for him. However, days have passed and he hasn't had opportunities to be included in the teams.

However, despite his good performances, he's also not having prominence with Raúl's Castilla. He's one of the key players in the Youth League for Álvaro Arbeloa's Juvenil A. However, that wouldn't be enough for him as he wants to take a step forward.

That's at least what they assure at Relevo, where they also talk about his discomfort and the tense situation he's experiencing. He's reportedly analyzing his future options even considering leaving. Although he hasn't yet expressed himself in those terms.

Real Madrid trusts him long-term for the first team, but now doubts

Real Madrid knows they have a great player on their hands, with a lot of potential in his position. To the extent that they see him taking Dani Carvajal's place in the first team. However, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen in the short term despite his wishes.

Ancelotti has had him in his training sessions and sees great potential in him, but hasn't fully committed. When Lucas Vázquez wasn't available, he preferred to place Fede Valverde there. Despite being a midfielder, he saw him as a better option than giving Fortea a chance.

In recent weeks, he's tried Raúl Asencio as a right-back, even in some matches. For that reason, Jesús is starting to reconsider his future within the club. Although the solution could be a loan so he can get minutes and continue gaining experience.
