Radical Change at Real Madrid: The Club Has Already Informed Ancelotti About Their Plans

The club has asked the Italian coach to rely more on the youth academy, especially on the talents who have already shown their quality

Real Madrid has decided to change its sports strategy. The focus on young players will be a priority in the coming months. Carlo Ancelotti has already been informed and has started giving them more prominence, partly due to the numerous injuries in the squad.

Joan Martínez, a Desired Return

One of the big beneficiaries will be Joan Martínez. The youth player suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament on August 10, before the season started. Now, after seven months of recovery, his return is very close.

Ancelotti Considers Him for the First Team. He could also be key for Raúl in Castilla or Arbeloa in the youth team in the final stretch of the season. His progress will be monitored cautiously to avoid risks.

The club plans to reward his perseverance. According to Relevo, there are authorized voices that want to take him to the Club World Cup in the United States. 

The goal is for him to train with the first team and gradually regain his best form. Madrid trusts in his potential and wants to show him that he is still part of the project.

More Opportunities for Young Players

In addition to Joan Martínez, other youth players could receive an opportunity. Jacobo Ramón and Diego Aguado are two names that could complete the squad in the coming months.

Meanwhile, players like Endrick and Arda Güler will have more minutes in this final stretch of the season. Both have enormous potential, and the club wants them to gain experience in the first team as soon as possible.

A Change of Strategy

Real Madrid seeks to secure its future by betting on its youth academy. The sports management believes that enhancing young talents is key to maintaining competitiveness without relying on multimillion-dollar signings.

This new direction is underway. Ancelotti has received the message. The youth academy will have a more important role in the club's project, and young prospects have the opportunity to establish themselves in the elite.
