Madrid Makes a Decision about Jesús Fortea's Future, and He is Already Informed

The white club looks to Jesús Fortea's future and has already made a decision about it

A few days ago, news broke that left Madrid uneasy about one of their great talents. Jesús Fortea announced his intention not to renew for the moment and to consider his future. He left everything open for the summer, when he would make the final decision about what to do.

Real Madrid wanted to take advantage of his coming of age to extend his contract and thus be able to retain him. However, the few opportunities he is having led him to want to wait. This has forced the club to change plans, and they have already made a decision in this regard.

Despite the latest information, there is still calm at Real Madrid regarding Fortea's future. They want to wait until March, which is when he turns 18, to sit down and talk. That is when they will ask the young winger how his situation is.

The truth is that they see him as a long-term prospect because they see a promising future for him within the team. That's why they are betting on a renewal that will allow them to secure him for several years. They will follow the same steps without making any exceptions, despite having high hopes for him.

Carvajal's injury and much uncertainty after not seeing him in any team

When Carvajal was seriously injured against Villarreal, Jesús Fortea's name was strongly mentioned. He was seen as the full-back with the greatest projection within La Fábrica and was aiming for the first team. He was going to be the one to give Lucas Vázquez a rest when necessary.

However, the matches passed, and he was never drafted by Ancelotti to be on any list. In fact, he stopped being in the first team's training sessions and saw that the chosen one was Loren Aguado. The Castilla player has indeed played minutes under Carletto's orders.

But Fortea hasn't entered the first reserve team either and has remained in Real Madrid C. They claim that this is what has held him back from signing his renewal yet. However, it will be necessary to wait until March when things will start to become clearer.
