Real Madrid has generally made it part of their business model to take advantage of the talent coming from their academy. But with Xabi Alonso took over, the feeling is that there can be more a focus on giving opportunities to their Castilla products.
This has been seen in recent days with Starlet Jesus Fortea a contract renewal at the club, just a few weeks after the arrival of Alonso, and the Basque manager chooses options to accompany the first team in the Club World Cup in the United States. One of the most important candidates who go to the tournament is defender Diego Aguado.
Only 18 years old has become a highlight for Castilla and can work at both left back and in the central defense. According to Marca, Borussia has seen enough to convince his talent and have presented an offer of € 6 million. Their position is that Aguado goes to the club World Cup, and after they have seen how things are going with the senior team, they will return to discussions with Dotmund.
Dortmund saw Aguado this season up close in the UEFA Youth League and he also made his senior debut in the Copa del Rey under Carlo Ancelotti in January. Los Blancos has already been interested in Aguado from a Serie A -side that asked him. The teen defender recently wrote a renewal until 2029 with a high release clause.
It depends on the evaluation of Alonso ultimately whether Los Blancos Aguado has to hold, or have to take a similar plan into action if happened to Nico Paz or Alex Jimenez. That is, selling the player but inserting a repurchase clause and a sold -out reimbursement percentage. Raul Asencio has been added to the first team, and although veterans David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger will be out of contract next summer, Aguado will compete with Jacobo Ramon and Joan Martinez to go up the ranks.
