Madrid have signed another full-back! He will compete with Dani Carvajal and Arnold on the right.

Real Madrid continues to strengthen their squad for the future, and the right-back position hasn't been an exception. After Dani Carvajal's recovery and Arnold's arrival, the club has decided to secure one of their top youth prospects. Jesús Fortea, an 18-year-old right-back, has renewed his contract until 2029, reaffirming his projection within the team.

Carvajal and Arnold, the competition on the right

Dani Carvajal remains the owner of the right flank at Real Madrid, although recent seasons have been marked by physical ups and downs. Despite injury problems, his experience and defensive solidity give him a crucial role in Ancelotti's team.

However, the club isn't satisfied with just one player in that position. With Arnold's signing, Madrid now has high-level competition at right-back. The English footballer has shown his quality in the Premier League and is able to contribute both defensively and offensively, making him a versatile option for the coach.

Fortea, the great prospect from the academy

While Carvajal and Arnold fight for the starting spot, Real Madrid keeps betting on their academy. Fortea, who belongs to Juvenil A and has been coached by Álvaro Arbeloa, has been one of the revelations in Madrid's youth system.

At just 18 years old, he has already shown great potential. His defensive solidity and offensive contribution have made him key for Juvenil A, which has led the club to secure his future.

Real Madrid has decided to extend Fortea's contract for three additional seasons, which secures him at the institution until 2029. The right-back was in his final contract season, which meant the club had to make decisions soon to prevent his departure.

Xabi Alonso and the opportunity in the first team

Xabi Alonso's arrival to Real Madrid's first team has also been a key factor in Fortea's renewal. Alonso, who knows the academy players well thanks to his time with Castilla, has been essential in the young right-back's decision to stay at the club.

Although Fortea hasn't debuted in La Liga yet, his future is secured within the club. With the coaches' trust and his renewal, Fortea will be able to keep growing and compete for a spot in the first team. Arnold and Carvajal's arrival gives Fortea time to develop without pressure.
