Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino Gets Serious and Pulls out the Checkbook and Solve the Crisis
Castilla's going through a lot due to injuries and Asencio's promotion to the First Team and needs to transfer players
Real Madrid Castilla is in a delicate situation. Injuries and lack of experience have turned the reserve team into a very youthful team this season. The board, led by Florentino Pérez, is already working on strengthening the team in the winter transfer market.
The goal is to avoid relegation to Segunda RFEF, a blow that would have serious consequences. Additionally, it would place Real Madrid C in the Tercera RFEF, further complicating the future of the youth academy.
The absences have severely affected Castilla. César Palacios tore his cruciate ligament. Manuel Ángel, due to his back problems, couldn't participate in the preseason.
Jacobo Ramón and Edgar Pujol have suffered constant injuries. The team needs experience and depth to face the rest of the season with guarantees.
Young talents in the spotlight
Among the names being mentioned, Arnu, forward from Valladolid Promesas, stands out. At 17 years old, he has already trained with the first team and debuted last season. His goal-scoring instinct is undeniable: eight goals in ten matches with the U-17.
Another target is Antoñito Cordero, left winger from Málaga. An U-19 international, he is a key player for his team. However, Barcelona is also interested in him, and Málaga is looking to renew his contract before June.
Naim García, from Leganés, is another option. At 22 years old, he is not in Borja Jiménez's plans and could strengthen the reserve team's wings.
Defensive reinforcements on the horizon
In defense, Castilla is looking for alternatives. David Cordón, known as Davinchi, is an option for the left-back position. At 18 years old, he stands out at Recreativo de Huelva and in the U-18.
However, the priority is in the central defense. Mario Rivas (17) and Ribes (20) have performed, but the lack of experience is concerning. If a suitable option arises, the club won't hesitate to act.
With Raúl Asencio now focused on the first team, Castilla needs to strengthen to maintain its competitive level. Florentino Pérez is willing to open the checkbook to ensure the future of the reserve team. With this, the continuity of Real Madrid's youth academy project.
The winter transfer market will be key to avoiding the drama of relegation.
