He's leaving Real Madrid, but he's staying in LaLiga. It'll be official in the next few hours.

Real Madrid's youth academy has always provided some of the best talents in the world. This summer hasn't been an exception, with the club reaching an agreement with Deportivo Alavés for the signing of Yusi. Signing for the next 4 seasons, the young left-back is preparing everything to leave for his new team.

The player, who is only 19 years old, is with the first team in the United States. This is because Xabi called him up, along with many other youth players, for the Club World Cup. Although Yusi hasn't played a single minute, Mendy's absence due to injury left the youth player as a solid substitute for Fran García.

His move to Alavés is a great opportunity for him to start developing his talent in professional soccer. Moreover, this move has once again enhanced the image of Real Madrid's youth academy, which has provided yet another talent to top-level soccer.

The new talent of LaLiga

Arriving at Real Madrid's youth academy in 2017, Yusi began to develop in the youth system. Moving through Juvenil C, B, and A, Yusi finally managed to become part of Castilla last summer. Under the orders of Raúl González Blanco, the young left-back managed to establish himself as one of the great talents of the academy.

Along with his outstanding speed, Yusi stood out as a player extremely committed to the team's needs. Whether in attack or defense, Yusi always found a way to help the club achieve a favorable result or keep it.

His presence in the first team for the Club World Cup was a clear vote of trust from Xabi Alonso in him. Known for always considering the youth academy, Xabi has a clear intention to give opportunities to the team's young talents.

A new adventure

Even though being part of Real Madrid is a dream, the signing for Deportivo Alavés is a great opportunity for Yusi. Given Fran García's high level, the signing of Álvaro Carreras, and Mendy's return, the youth player wouldn't have had many opportunities.
