Real Madrid are intending to address their right-back situation next summer. The idea has been for Trent Alexander-Arnold to be signed, as he can arrive as a free agent if he does not sign a new deal with Liverpool before the end of the season. However, those plans are not entirely set in stone.
Alexander-Arnold would not arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu until the end of the season, with little chance of Liverpool agreeing to sell him in January – at least for a price that Real Madrid would deem acceptable. It means that Lucas Vazquez will remain as first-choice for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign, and one of his backups will be Jesus Fortea.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Fortea, who is only 17, will stay with the first team for the foreseeable future. According to Marca, if he were to “explode” before the end of the season, it could see club officials question whether Alexander-Arnold is needed.
It will be interesting to see whether Carlo Ancelotti gives chances to Fortea this season. Even if he does so, and the teenager impresses, it would be a surprise if Real Madrid moved away from Alexander-Arnold – especially if he does not renew at Liverpool.

I think it's only a dream.. as we can see what happen to Hakimi, Sergio Santos, or Vinicius Tobias .. they don't get the chance and trust they needed.. except if Madrid had a manager who loves and trust young players..

Ancelotti is not going to give Jesus Fortea minutes, just look at the way he is benching Arda Guler and Endrik even if he is loosing a match, so therefore stop thinking about Ancelotti playing academy players or young people, he is only interested in veteran players

It's good to give Jesus Fortea also the chance to boost his morale to get more experience as he matures.

Madrid don’t have faith in its youths unlike Barca that is why if they don’t buy they can’t compete.
