Florentino has a 17-year-old center-back ready, he could already sign with Real Madrid.

The sports planningoriginally intended for the 24/25 season has been considerably disrupted. Injuries have shaken all the foundations laid last summer, leaving Real Madrid at a crucial stage of the season with only two central defenders in the squad. Raúl Asencio and Jesús Vallejo, however, are not enough.

That's why Carlo Ancelotti has a plan. The first step is to continue with Aurélien Tchouaméni in that position, despite all the criticism and the intense booing both the French stopper and he have received. The white fans disagree with the '14' occupying a position that doesn't correspond to his natural role.

The results achieved since last January don't support a tactical arrangement that Carlo Ancelotti will insist on... despite being forced to resort to La Fábrica to complete his squad. The eight youth players drafted for the Copa del Rey quarter-final match in Butarque are a clear example of the ongoing shortage of central defenders in the first team.

To remedy this situation, the Valdebebas offices have urged the Reggiolo coach to trust more in the players being trained in the academy. Names like Raúl Asencio, Jacobo Ramón, and Joan Martínez leave good impressions, but the merengue bosses want to add another protagonist: Diego Aguado.

Another name for the future

The young 17-year-old central defender is a regular starter for Juvenil A. Álvaro Arbeloa's tactical approaches highlight a player who has even had the opportunity to debut with the first team against Deportiva Minera in the Copa del Rey. Since then, he has been fully focused on performing at the highest level with his teammates and increasing his chances for 'promotion' to Real Madrid C or Real Madrid Castilla.

Such performance has not gone unnoticed. The sports management, aware of the tight situation in the first team's defense, wishes to supplement Carlo Ancelotti with more than competent players. Hence, according to the information published by MARCA, Real Madrid is preparing to send a renewal offer to Diego Aguado himself.

The '3' of Juvenil A has established himself in La Fábrica as one of the most promising defensive references, alongside teammates like Jacobo Ramón, Raúl Asencio, or Joan Martínez. Therefore, his renewal wouldn't only extend his stay in Real Madrid's formative stages but also increase his salary according to this sports daily.

A release clause would also be added, acting as 'insurance' in case any team is interested in acquiring Diego Aguado's services in the future. The player seems delighted with this possibility... so the confirmation of his continuity at Real Madrid would be imminent, always with the hope of consolidating himself in the first team.
