Real Madrid starlet Antonio Blanco emerged as one of the stars of their famed La Fabrica academy, but has struggled to make the jump to senior football.
A standout through the youth ranks and at Real Madrid Castilla, it was thought that Blanco might be able to eek out a spot in the first team eventually. Starved of opportunities, he took the decision to join Cadiz on loan this season, as has former Castilla teammate Victor Chust.
The cultured holding midfielder has failed to make an impact this season though. Appearing just four times this season, in La Liga he has just three appearances, two starts and 159 minutes to his name. The other came in the Copa del Rey, playing 90 minutes as Cadiz fell to a damaging 3-2 defeat to lower division Real Union.
As per Fichajes.net, Blanco will end his loan at Cadiz in January in search of more opportunities. His proposed next destination is Getafe, who were interested in Blanco in the summer.
At the age of 22, Blanco is in serious need of opportunities in order to take the next step in his development. Should he move to Getafe, it is not ostensibly the easiest place to get them. While Quique Sanchez Flores will be aware of his talents, Getafe find themselves in a relegation battle, just three points outside the relegation zone. Traditionally, younger players struggle for opportunities in that scenario.
Equally, competition for central midfield spots at Getafe is fierce. Mauro Arambarri, Jaime Seoane, Carles Alena, Nemanja Maksimovic and Luis Milla are already fighting for minutes.

As long as he brings positive result I'm fine and when he'll retire people won't remember his tactics but rather his achievements yeah I admit too he isn't a tactical genius but he is decent
As a coach, it's not just bringing results but making everyone happy and getting the best out of everyone

if spain has good midfielders in the likes of xavi alonso ,niesta and xavi i don't think they would call inexperience players like gavi and pedri.

Aribas and Blanco are two players that Real Madrid are doing dirty. I wish that they can leave and shine at a different club because the second team is becoming too small for them. They have potential to be great players but, sad to say, Real Madrid is sleeping on em. 😴
Let them shine on loan and come back.

Fans like you are the reason People say Real Madrid won but didn't play well. You guys are so contented which teams like Real Madrid needs more than that
all I care about is my team winning regardless of performance.....you can have a good performance and still lose....I value performance but most importantly,I value winning

first of all it's "focus on the" not "forces more in the" and also, I didn't say anything abusive, I said a fact and we can all agree on that

He's way better than Overrated Gavi and Pedri
If being on the bench means being better, ok, then you are correct but if you're talking about playing football, I'm very disappointed at this your statement

so gavi can make the French 11?
All I know is that Gavi won't be a bench warmer, and he's most likely to start during this France injury crisis, with Pogba and Kante out Injured and fekir absent, camavinga is still being benched, that CANNOT happen to Gavi

You don't have to insult people when making a point, that shows how low you are. By the way i kinda agree with him. Ancelotti doesn't have eyes for talented players. All these players like Kubo, Brahim, Blanco etc are all very talented players but sadly Ancelotti is a system coach who doesn't think outside the box

Actually he's right but not about the insults though. I don't see Ancelotti having tactical brains that you'll call tactical genius
