Real Madrid are close to securing the renewal of Thiago Pitarch, one of the most promising talents in La Fabrica. The 18-year-old midfielder, who has impressed while training with the first team in recent weeks, is expected to extend his contract in the coming days, according to a report from ESPN.
Thiago Pitarch has been a standout for Castilla in preseason, showing maturity beyond his years and versatility in midfield. With Dani Ceballos’ future still uncertain and Eduardo Camavinga sidelined by injuries, the timing could be ideal for the academy graduate to earn first-team minutes.
ESPN sources report that Madrid are moving quickly to finalize the deal, as several European clubs had shown interest in the youngster.
While a permanent role in the first team may not come immediately, the current circumstances create an opening for Thiago to train regularly with the senior squad and potentially feature in upcoming fixtures. The renewal would ensure Madrid retain another highly rated academy player at a time when midfield depth is under pressure. Thiago Pitarch could be the next to make an immediate jump from Castilla to the first team following Raul Asencio’s progression last season.
