Didac Aguirre Joan Martínez passes the test and could leave the club immediately: his new team
The top-level destination awaiting Joan Martínez upon his likely departure from Castilla
Among all the young talents Real Madrid has, Joan Martínez is one of the most outstanding. The young center-back impressed both insiders and outsiders with his level during last year's preseason. This has led Real Madrid, as we know at Defensa Central, to make the decision that Joan will be a regular in the first team.
Just as happened with Raúl Asencio during last season, Joan is destined to be important. For now, the center-back is keeping focused with the rest of Castilla's squad. Under the orders of Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach is in constant contact with Xabi Alonso.
This great relationship could lead to Joan Martínez's desired debut in the first team. Although this could have happened last season, a serious injury prevented him from fulfilling his dream. Sidelined for the entire campaign, Joan is ready to return to action.
A reliable center-back for Real Madrid
After signing Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid has focused on carrying out the transfer of another center-back. Ibrahima Konaté, Liverpool's center-back, is one of its main interests due to his contract ending in 2026. However, looking ahead to next season, his spot seems set to be taken by Joan Martínez.
Trained in the youth academies of Patacona and Levante, Joan joined the Madrid youth system in 2023. As a Juvenil C player, Joan quickly managed to make the jump to Juvenil A. In this category, last season, he was considered by Carlo Ancelotti.
Despite the terrible injury he suffered, Real Madrid hasn't forgotten its great prospect. At 17 years old, Joan could form a reliable partnership with Huijsen. Both center-backs, in addition to their immense talent, are still very young.
The desired opportunity
Although the date when Joan will join the first team is unknown, this event is a fact. Xabi Alonso, thanks to his great relationship with Arbeloa, is aware of Joan's potential. Everything depends, when the time comes, on Joan being able to show he can live up to expectations.
