Xabi Alonso has never been one to shy away from publicly addressing whether his squad needs improvement. That’s why, just before the summer break, the Real Madrid manager hinted that a key decision would be made once the holidays were over. According to the press, no further signings are expected, unless an unexpected transfer of Rodrygo Goes or Dani Ceballos changes the club’s plans.

But there is good news for Valdebebas: Xabi Alonso is placing his trust in the youth system.

The spotlight today is on Thiago Pitarch, a standout talent from La Fábrica. Known for his excellent ability to link play and connect with teammates, the young midfielder is regarded as a real gem within the academy. If he manages to impress the new coach during upcoming training sessions, he may be considered for an even greater role.

At just 18 years old, Pitarch is focused on growing within the youth ranks, but he also dreams of something bigger: making the leap to the first team. With Xabi Alonso paying close attention, that dream might not be so far off.
