Real Madrid have been blessed with some brilliant players out of La Fabrica, their academy where they make the next generation's best players. We have seen so many good players come out of this academy, and some great ones have made their mark in the club's storied history.
Real Madrid do not always have space for these players, though, especially these days. They have to really prove how good they are, or be unbelievably talented, kind of like Fede Valverde or Dani Carvajal. Or else, they will get sold.
Nico Paz, another great player who had to leave the club to get more minutes, has been brilliant for Como this season, scoring six goals and creating four more for his teammates.
According to MARCA, Como have enjoyed this Real Madrid talent, and now are in the hunt for one more.
Como want to sign Real Madrid starlet Jesus Fortea, who has yet to extend his contract with the club
Real Madrid have struggled to keep their young players in recent years. From Martin Odegaard to Sergio Arribas and Paz, there have been a lot of the ones who got away.
Real Madrid need to make sure that Fortea is not one of them, though. Fortea is the player who made the club break their non-aggression pact with Atletico Madrid back in 2022, and he is probably the most talented player in the academy right now.
He is brilliant on the ball, is a good defender and can cross the ball extremely well. It is honestly tough to imagine him not playing for a top-level club in the future. Fortea is only 17, but his decision making has been incredible.
According to the report, Como are interested, and there will be others who will show their interest in the player. Real Madrid's priority is to sign the player to a contract extension. His current deal expires in 2026, and Fortea is waiting to decide whether he wants to renew with the club.
Real Madrid will listen to offers for the player if he does not sign the contract, but honestly, the club needs to make sure this one sticks around for as long as possible.
