Jesús Fortea is facing a decisive moment in his career. The 19-year-old right-back, now represented by YouFirst, is attracting strong interest from clubs such as Ajax, FC Porto, and Bayer Leverkusen, along with several La Liga sides.

His priority is to break into the first team at Real Madrid, but if that opportunity does not materialize, he is prepared to seek a move away from Valdebebas in order to take the next step in his development.

A key factor in this situation is a clause in his contract that allows him to leave on loan unilaterally if he is not registered with the first team next season, provided the offer comes from a higher division than Castilla. This gives the player significant leverage and limits the club’s ability to block a potential departure.

The coming weeks will be crucial. With Dani Carvajal potentially leaving and Trent Alexander-Arnold already in the squad, a spot could open up at right-back. The club’s decision—whether to promote from within or sign a new player—will directly impact Fortea’s future.

Additionally, uncertainty surrounding Álvaro Arbeloa could play a role. The coach has been one of Fortea’s strongest supporters during his time at La Fábrica, and his possible departure could weaken the defender’s chances of earning a promotion.
