Florentino closes the deal, Real Madrid celebrates the transfer of the Spanish Modric

Real Madrid's roadmap for the upcoming markets is focused on completing the generational transition in the first team. To achieve this, they must turn to the transfer market or look toward the youth academy to complete the team.

Florentino Pérez wants to combine these two strategies to give Carlo Ancelotti the best possible team by the summer of 2025. The transfers already in progress, like that of Alexander-Arnold, will arrive right after a very important transfer for the club.

Solid and Reliable Bet 

Real Madrid is taking advantage of the month of January to finalize several important deals. In terms of transfers, it's true that everything has focused on Alexander Arnold, who might already have an agreement. In the coming days, they'll try to do the same with Alphonso Davies.

However, there are not only movements in the first team; in Valdebebas, they're looking toward the future. That involves securing the continuity of some of the gems in the youth academy. This is the case with Diego Martínez, known as Beto within the club's structure.

An important player in Juvenil B, some already compare him to Luka Modric due to his leadership from the midfield. Florentino knows he has a gem on his hands and has signed a new contract. His contract was set to end in 2026, and it has been extended for another year, until 2027.

However, the plan goes further since when he turns 18 on April 7, he will undergo another extension. In this case, it will be until the end of the 2027-2028 season, ensuring his long-term continuity. A great piece of news within La Fábrica with one of its great talents.

Second Important Move in Real Madrid with the Youth Academy in January

Real Madrid doesn't have any planned moves with the first team, but not so with the youth academy. They started January by officially transfer Lamini Fati, who joins Real Madrid C. This is followed by the renewal of Beto in a clear commitment to maintaining the structure.

He's an under-17 international and has even been called by Ancelotti to train with the "seniors" on occasion. It's no wonder, given his outstanding qualities. He's a midfielder capable of organizing the game but also with a strong presence in attack.

In fact, there's a statistic that demonstrates the two virtues this young midfielder possesses. He's the team's top scorer, without being a forward, and the top assist provider. It's no surprise that he has already debuted with Real Madrid C, advancing through the ranks very quickly.
