Malaga have shown interest in Real Madrid midfielder Thiago Pitarch. The 18-year-old faces an uncertain future under Jose Mourinho and could be loaned out.
Malaga have shown interest in the situation of Thiago Pitarch, a midfielder who does not yet know what role he will be assigned by the new Real Madrid coach, the Portuguese Jose Mourinho. The team from Martiricos faces the handicap of not competing in European competitions.
Sixteen. That is the number of matches Pitarch, 18, has accumulated with the Real Madrid first team. Without a doubt, a significant figure, as very few academy players have managed to break into the Merengue club's senior squad in recent times.
That said, the departure of Alvaro Arbeloa, the coach who bet on his promotion, the arrival of Bernardo Silva, and the new coach's desire to recruit another midfielder could complicate his stay at the White House.
As AS reports, everything is currently pending on what happens in the preseason. If, during this period, he does not earn the Special One's full trust, the native of Fuenlabrada will have to consider leaving. And that is where Malaga comes in. According to the cited newspaper, the Martiricos side would be delighted to welcome the player on loan.
Although they would give him the opportunity to compete in the first division, the Blanquiazules face a handicap: they cannot fulfill the player's desire to play in the top European competition. "I would like to continue adding minutes in the Champions League next season," Pitarch said in a recent interview.
In other news, Real Madrid have set a new World Cup record with 19 goals scored by their players. Kylian Mbappé leads with 8, followed by Jude Bellingham's 6 and Vinícius' 4.
Los Blancos' image has been greatly strengthened at this World Cup. Despite having only a few representatives across all the national teams, 13 to be exact, the club has managed to break a new record, this time for the most goals scored by players from the same club in a World Cup.
Jude Bellingham's brace against Norway in the quarterfinals allowed Real Madrid to surpass the records set by Hungarian club Honved in 1954, Bayern Munich in 2014, and PSG in 2022, all of which scored 18 goals. To achieve this, the Spanish club has only needed four players: Mbappé (8 goals), Bellingham (6 goals), Vinícius (4 goals), and Arda Güler (1 goal).
Let's see how far Bellingham and Mbappé go, and how many more goals they score. Both are unstoppable and do not seem likely to take their foot off the accelerator.
