Real Madrid are short of central defenders currently, but it makes it no less impressive that they have decided to bring 16-year-old Joan Martinez on their preseason tour with them. The talented teenager has been earmarked as their most promising central defender at Valdebebas.
Carlo Ancelottiw will only have Antonio Rudiger and Jesus Vallejo available from the start of their preseason tour, with Eder Militao joining the squad in the USA. Real Madrid Castilla defenders Jacobo Ramon and Raul Asencio will also travel, but the inclusion of Martinez has made the headlines. No doubt all three will seek this as a unique opportunity with Ancelotti short on central defenders.
Martinez started off last season in the under-17s, but in the final months of the campaign was part of Alvaro Arbeloa’s under-19 team, and even trained on occasion with Raul’s Castilla team. Los Blancos are yet to take a decision on whether they should have Martinez playing for Castilla next season or the under-19s.

he's like Ramos so he should score a ton of goals in his entire career he must hit that 100+ goal mark although he is a defender
