There is no greater showcase than Real Madrid. A match with the white jersey has helped Víctor Valdepeñas to awaken the interest of another European giant. And he is not the only one.
Xabi Alonso gave the youth squad his debut in his team’s victory (1-2) against Alavés in Mendizorroza. Carreras and Fran García were suspended, while Mendy continues to recover from his injury. An emergency situation on the left side that caused the debut of Valdepeñas.
He’s only 19 years old, but he’s aiming high. As reported by journalist Rodra on ESPN, Arsenal is very attentive to its future. If he doesn’t make the jump to the Real Madrid first team, it’s a signing they have in store.
Competition for Valdepeñas
Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have also written down the name of the new jewel of La Fábrica. They expect a ‘firecracker’ like Achraf in his day, Odegaard or even Nico Paz, who now shines with his own light in Serie A.
It is very difficult to get a place at Real Madrid, but in Europe everyone is fighting for the ‘children’ of Valdebebas. It is no secret that the entity chaired by Florentino Pérez supplies more than any other team to the 5 major leagues with players trained in its quarry.
The price of Valdepeñas
In the event of departure, Real Madrid would repeat the famous formula of 50% of the rights. Nico Paz, for example, went to Como for 6 ‘kilos’, but Real Madrid will buy him back in 2026 for less than 10 million. The figures for Valdepeñas would be quite similar.
Now the player has gained experience and has even rejected offers from Inter and Tottenham that amount to 70 ‘kilos’. Therefore, it is a formula with which everyone wins if the protagonist breaks down the door.
Movement on the left side
The idea of the white club is to get rid of one of the left backs. With Álvaro Carreras ruled out of this equation, since he arrived last summer for 50 million, the dilemma is between Ferland Mendy and Fran García.
The Frenchman gave a lot in his first years, becoming decisive in defensive tasks in several of the team’s Champions Leagues. However, he has entered a negative spiral of injuries in which there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Fran García, meanwhile, is a good substitute with a good sign on the market. Time will tell if Valdepeñas gets a place or has to do the famous Madrid Erasmus. There is no shortage of girlfriends.
