The academy players Real Madrid is watching: loaned and transferred talents who could return

Real Madrid continues planning the start of the 25/26 season. Under Xabi Alonso's orders, the first-team players trained on Wednesday morning for more than two hours. Despite the Valdebebas sun, the training session was described as high intensity.

"The session started in the gym with individual activation. Once on the field, the players performed acceleration drills, phases of high and low pressing, and a transition phase. Next, they carried out long running drills and finished the training with several 10 vs. 10 matches", reported Real Madrid itself.

In addition, three players couldn't be present at the third training session of the week. Ferland Mendy and Endrick trained separately, while Jude Bellingham is still recovering from his shoulder surgery. The English player will be out until the middle of next October.

Xabi Alonso already has several academy players in the training sessions

To make up for these absences, Xabi Alonso is already relying on several figures from Madrid's academy. In addition to Gonzalo García, who is already part of the first team, the Tolosa native drafted Thiago Pitarch, Aguado, and Daniel Yáñez in recent days. All of them are part of the 2007 generation and are expected to become great talents in the future.

However, there are other academy players who left Real Madrid before the season started in order to get more playing time. The most notable examples were Víctor Muñoz, Chema Andrés, Youseff, Rafael Obrador, or Jacobo Ramón. Even though they no longer play for Real Madrid, the club keeps a right of first refusal, so they could bring them back in a fairly affordable way.

Real Madrid monitoring several academy players

There are several names who had to leave Real Madrid but who remain on Xabi Alonso's staff's radar. The first is Chema Andrés, who left for Germany to gain experience at Stuttgart. For now, the news coming from there is positive, although it is necessary to wait for the Bundesliga to start to seriously see the midfielder in action.

Other very notable departures were those of Víctor Muñoz or Jacobo Ramón. The former could make his debut with CA Osasuna against Real Madrid at Bernabéu, while the defender left for Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas. Under the Catalan coach's orders, the player will keep growing safely in the coming months.

Rafael Obrador should also be mentioned, as he could be the next Álvaro Carreras at SL Benfica. Youssef left for Deportivo Alavés, so he will also play in LaLiga. Meanwhile, Mario Martín, who left a year ago, will play his second year in the top division, although this time he will do so wearing Getafe's jersey.
