Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid Settle His Transfer Today: Florentino Pérez Agrees

A pivotal match that goes beyond the result and could define the future of a young prospect

Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will soon face each other in the quarterfinals of the new Club World Cup. A match that, on paper, is important. But beyond the field, there's another matter that also draws the attention of both clubs: a possible transfer that could be finalized in the coming days.

The white club, with Florentino Pérez at the helm, has already given the green light to start talks with the German side. A young player, with a lot of talent and who is set for a bright future, is at the center of this negotiation.

German interest and the conditions

From Germany, they're clear: they want a versatile defender, capable of playing both as a full-back and as a center-back. Borussia Dortmund, which bets on young players, has already offered money, but Real Madrid is asking for much more.

The Madrid club doesn't intend to completely lose control over this emerging talent. That's why it's willing to negotiate as long as buy-back clauses and a percentage of rights are included, a formula it has already used with other academy players in the past.

Who is Diego Aguado

This is about Diego Aguado, a footballer born in 2007 in Soto del Real who has been climbing through the white academy. He started the season with Juvenil A, made the jump to Castilla, and recently debuted with the first team in Copa del Rey.

At just 18 years old, Aguado stands out for his ability to adapt to different positions in defense and for his maturity on the field. That's why several European clubs are following him, such as Leipzig and a prominent Serie A team.

Aguado's future and Madrid

The young defender is looking for minutes and growth in a team that trusts him. Borussia Dortmund can guarantee it, something Real Madrid values, but it also tries to protect its long-term interests.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso's team keeps preparing for the match against the Germans in Miami. Aguado is part of the core group that traveled to the United States, an indication of the trust the club has in his potential.

Open negotiations

Negotiations are underway and could continue for the next few weeks. Florentino Pérez has given the OK for the deal to be closed as long as the conditions that protect the club are respected.

This transfer wouldn't just be a sporting move, but also a smart bet for both sides. Aguado could grow in a competitive league, while Madrid keeps options to bring back one of its gems.
