Ancelotti Has Told Him to His Face, He Crosses Out This Real Madrid Player
The player is already prepared to leave Real Madrid after several years at the club.
This season is proving to be especially difficult for Jesús Vallejo at Real Madrid. The Aragonese central defender, who joined the club in 2015 with high expectations, has been sidelined and occupies a very secondary role in Carlo Ancelotti's tactical decisions.
Despite the absences in Real Madrid's defense during the season, Jesús Vallejo has played only 11 minutes throughout the course. This scenario highlights the little confidence Carlo Ancelotti has in his abilities. Even when the defense has faced difficulties, the Italian coach has opted for other alternatives instead of giving the Aragonese player a chance.
What Is Happening with Jesús Vallejo?
"Nothing is happening with him, he's training, he's fine, but his contract is ending, and we prefer to give more opportunities to the young players," commented Carlo Ancelotti when asked about him.
Those words, which came before the first leg against Manchester City, confirmed the evidence: Jesús Vallejo is not at all in Ancelotti's plans.
Faced with this reality, Jesús Vallejo has tried to maintain a professional attitude and continue with his work. Recently, he shared a message on his social media that said "And we keep training," joined by images of a training session. This post seemed to be a discreet way for the player to reaffirm his commitment to the club.
Carlo Ancelotti Prefers the Young Players
The most surprising aspect of the situation is that Carlo Ancelotti has decided to give minutes to reserve team players before Jesús Vallejo. Footballers like Raúl Asencio and Jacobo Ramón have had their chance in the first team, which highlights the Aragonese's marginal position. This choice by the Italian coach sends a clear message about Jesús Vallejo's future at the club.

In fact, on the day Éder Militão got injured against CA Osasuna, Carlo Ancelotti opted for Raúl Asencio over Jesús Vallejo. On that date, Raúl Asencio had not yet debuted with the first team.
With his contract ending in June 2025, everything indicates that Jesús Vallejo will leave Real Madrid at the end of this season. The defender is at a decisive stage of his career and needs to find a new club where he can play regularly.
