Surprise at Bernabéu with a Request from a Madrid Gem - Florentino is Amazed

They pointed to him as the new Dani Carvajal and no one expected his latest decision.

He's waited a long time, but he's grown tired. The situation of Jesús Fortea at Real Madrid seems to be hanging by a thread. The youth player, compared to Carvajal just a few months ago, hasn't had any presence with Castilla despite being more than ready. He's starting to reconsider his future, as Relevo has discovered, and is analyzing the best options he has on the table to leave.

At all times, Jesús Fortea was clear that his present and future were with Real Madrid. However, this has changed in recent months: he considers himself ready for more than just playing in the youth team and being drafted with the 'C'. There are clubs in Europe willing to bet heavily on signing him, and a change of scenery sooner rather than later isn't ruled out, with his contract running until 2026.

Florentino Pérez is aware of this situation and will try to reverse it as soon as possible, according to Madrid-Barcelona. At Real Madrid, Fortea is held in high regard, and the intention is for him to renew his contract. Negotiations have begun to try to secure his future by March, when he will turn 18 and can sign a long-term contract.

Nevertheless, after this discontent, things could get complicated with Jesús Fortea. His camp has had conversations with several clubs in Europe so far, who want to take the full-back. He hasn't had any presence with Castilla, much less with the first team. He shows great potential, but so far, in a few training sessions, he hasn't quite impressed Ancelotti.

While he doesn't have confidence at Real Madrid, he does in Spain's lower categories, where he's been drafted for the Under-19 team. The reality is that Jesús Fortea shows great potential, and Florentino Pérez doesn't want to lose him. He could soon enter his last year of contract without having renewed, which would leave the club in a very complicated situation while the full-back demands importance.

So far, the situation doesn't seem to have an easy solution. While Real Madrid wants to renew him, Jesús Fortea demands actions, not words. The actions are simple: to have opportunities with Castilla. He doesn't ask to appear in the first team now, he knows it's complicated, but he believes he's earned the right to be a regular in the reserve team at Di Stéfano.
