Defender Jesús Vallejo is experiencing a complicated situation at Real Madrid. Since his arrival in 2017, the central defender from Aragón has seen his career stagnate. Today, he finds himself at a real crossroads: he doesn't play, and despite the club's attempts to find him a way out, he refuses to leave the team.
With his contract about to expire, Vallejo's situation has become a headache for Florentino Pérez and the technical staff led by Carlo Ancelotti.
Vallejo's Agony at Real Madrid
Vallejo hasn't only lost his place in the starting eleven but has also been relegated to a secondary role within the team. For several seasons, the defender has been a marginal figure in Ancelotti's plans. Despite repeated offers from interested clubs, Vallejo has preferred to stay in Madrid, even though he lacks playing time and prominence.
This stagnation has caused frustration for both the player and the Real Madrid management. The club has tried to sell him in several transfer windows, but Vallejo has always rejected the proposals, even those involving a move to leagues with less visibility.
The Latest Rejected Offer
Recently, Trabzonspor, a team from the Turkish league, made a new offer for Jesús Vallejo. However, the defender once again rejected it outright. This behavior is surprising, as the player prefers to stay at Real Madrid despite his untenable situation.
Vallejo rejects offers that would give him playing time, showing his desire to remain in Madrid, hoping for a change in his situation. However, the club doesn't seem willing to keep him without a significant role in the first team.
The Last Defender in Ancelotti's Plans
Currently, Vallejo occupies the last position in the hierarchy of Real Madrid defenders. With Rüdiger, Alaba, and Tchouaméni, Vallejo has been relegated to the background. Vallejo was not drafted for the Cup, confirming the uncertainty about his future.
With the arrival of young players like Raúl Asencio, Vallejo has even fewer chances to play in the first team. The situation seems unsustainable, and everything points to his time at Real Madrid coming to an end when his contract expires in June.
An Uncertain Future
Vallejo arrived at Real Madrid with high expectations after his time at Zaragoza and Eintracht Frankfurt. He was seen as a young promise, but injuries and a lack of continuity have caused his career to deflate rapidly.
Despite his efforts to find a way out, his contradictory attitude regarding accepting offers has further complicated his situation.
