Ancelotti reportedly asks for updates on Real Madrid academy right-backs as three names emerge
Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly asked for reports on right-backs from Real Madrid’s academy. This request comes after Dani Carvajal’s season-ending injury, as the club looks for internal solutions.
Ancelotti is known for preferring experienced players, but this new approach suggests a shift in strategy. The manager appears keen to evaluate young talent within the club.
Sources indicate, according to The Athletic, that there is no ready-made prospect available for immediate first-team action. However, three promising candidates have caught the attention of the coaching staff: Lorenzo Aguado, David Jimenez, and Jesus Fortea.
These young players could provide valuable options as Real Madrid navigates a challenging period without their first-choice right-back.
