Leganés about to sign Real Madrid center-back who is not in Xabi's plans

The Whites are about to let this center-back, who is not part of Alonso's plans, leave and remain in Spain

For the upcoming season, being able to move the squad and, above all, offload certain players is one of the most important points. However, this time we won't talk about footballers who have already earned a departure, such as Rodrygo. In this regard, we're referring to Leganés, which is about to secure the services of Marvel, a footballer from the merengue youth academy.

This player wasn't considered at all in Alonso's system during this World Cup, and it's clear that reaching the first team is very difficult for him. For this reason, Leganés sees him as an important option to strengthen its squad.

The departure of this player could benefit the merengue side financially, as it always takes advantage of these kinds of opportunities. However, it's still necessary to wait for the process and for the white team to be fully established once again at 100% in Valdebebas (100%).

He is about to leave

This player seems to have everything in place to leave the merengue side, and this isn't the first time this has been rumored. During the time he was under Raúl González Blanco's orders, he was also mentioned as a possible departure.

At 22 years old, he has a very promising future ahead of him, in addition to a highly significant amount of playing time last season. He played one Copa del Rey match, but where he stood out the most was in the regular season with more than 2,100 minutes (2,100 minutes) played in 28 matches.

His experience and, above all, his ability to play even as a left back make him versatile for a team like Leganés. This way, he could leave and, although the exact figure isn't known, it could be a more than interesting amount.

They will keep an eye on him

As is logical to think in the structure of the white club, it has already become customary to keep an eye on these players in case they can break out. Just as has happened with his previous teammates, he will surely have a buy-back clause in case he makes the leap to the elite.
