This is the new face that we find in the Madrid project. Taking advantage of the absences of David Alaba and Eder Militao due to injury and showing himself to be more reassuring than Jesus Vallejo to accompany Antonio Rüdiger in defense, the young Raul Asencio (21 years old) has established himself as a good alternative. Currently a starter, the young Spanish defender has proven that he has his place in the Merengue group and that he can represent the future in this position.
While Real Madrid is working on improving its defensive sector for this summer and two referenced players are being monitored with Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) for a potential free arrival this summer, the central hinge deserves special attention. If Antonio Rüdiger is essential, David Alaba and Eder Militao are regularly prone to injuries as was the case last season. Raul Asencio’s explosion brought a little calm to this tense sector and it had the merit of inspiring the Merengues.
Real Madrid wants to bet on four young people
According to MarcaReal Madrid would like to rely more on its nuggets from the training center for the coming years. Certainly, the arrival of a world-class defender this summer is planned to compensate for the fragility of David Alaba and Eder Militao, but four young people from Fabrica are fully included in the sporting planning of the capital club. There is obviously Raul Asencio who has managed to find his place and already represents the present of Casa Blanca.
Moreover, Real Madrid intends to secure the 21-year-old player with a new contract which should arrive in the coming weeks. Called up nine times in the group without playing this season, Jacobo Ramón (19 years old) trains regularly with the group and finds himself closest to following in the footsteps of Raul Asencio. Younger, Joan Martínez (17 years old) is on the flank. Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture and not having to return before March, the one who arrived from Levante a year and a half ago everyone agrees.
Quickly upgraded, he played 5 Youth League matches last season before getting injured. The plan for him is to insert him into the dynamic of the first team with training with the professionals and matches with the reserves for his return to competition. Finally, Diego Aguado (17 years old) represents the favorite of Davide Ancelotti, the son and deputy of Carlo Ancelotti. During the Youth League match between Fabrica and Borussia Dortmund last October, he broke the screen and Davide Ancelotti pushed for him to be called up four times with the A team (Leganés, Liverpool, Getafe and Bilbao ) even if he did not enter the field. Casa Blanca’s future in central defense looks promising.
