The gem whose future has been secured by Real Madrid after the recent renewal of its contract

While the possible signing of Ibrahima Konaté continues to make headlines, Real Madrid has focused on other operations. Aware of the importance of keeping its talents, the club has renewed one of its academy players. According to Defensa Central, Thiago Pitarch has extended his contract with Real Madrid.

After reaching adulthood, the club had no doubts about renewing the talented midfielder. Standing out since January in Juvenil B, Pitarch quickly moved up the club's ranks. Currently part of Juvenil A, Pitarch is a regular participant in first team training sessions.

Xabi Alonso has seen in the young midfielder a profile the team really needs. His renewal, besides securing his future, shows the trust the club has in him. Playing matches against Leganés in Valdebebas and against Tirol, Pitarch is a very promising player.

A talent like no other

Having been part of Real Madrid's academy since 2023, Thiago Pitarch joined Juvenil C. After his time in the academies of Atlético, Getafe, and Leganés, Pitarch managed to find his place in the merengue academy. His rise through the ranks has been a clear sign of his remarkable progress in the team.

Now registered with Juvenil A, his previous contract tied him to Real Madrid until 2027. However, his outstanding performances and Arbeloa's recommendation put him on Xabi's radar. Despite being only 18 years old, the coach has already given him opportunities with the first team.

As a vertical midfielder with an ability to break lines, Pitarch is set to become a highly relevant player in the future. His presence in preseason matches indicates that, in due time, Pitarch will be drafted by the first team during the campaign.

Securing the midfield

After the departures of Kroos and Modric, many doubts arose about the future of the midfield. Although several stars were linked to Real Madrid, Xabi has placed his trust in the academy. The coach has seen in Pitarch a player who, in due time, could take charge of the merengue midfield.
