Betis, Rayo and Levante eye up Real Madrid's youth academy
Jacobo, an emerging defender from Real Madrid Castilla, will be leaving this summer, according to Marca. The lack of opportunities in the first team, with the defense completely saturated, has led him to consider a loan to continue his development. Although Cesc Fàbregas' Como is leading the bid, there is also strong interest from LaLiga clubs such as Betis, Levante, and Rayo Vallecano for his loan. 📸 Angel Martinez - 2025 Getty Images These three teams, with attractive projects both in national competition and in Europe, could offer him vital minutes at the elite level. The final decision will be made in the coming days, with options for both a loan and a transfer being considered, which is Real Madrid's priority over a loan, as has already happened with Víctor Muñoz and Yusi.

Real Madrid defender will complete his Alaves transfer this week
Real Madrid Castilla, as is the case every year, is parting ways with a number of young players whose cycle at the subsidiary division has come to an end. With very few players cut out for the level of the Real Madrid first-team, several young stars are moving out to various Primera and Segunda division clubs. Advertisement As relayed earlier this month, Youssef 'Yusi' Lekhedim is one such player set to leave the club who has attracted interest from the Primera division. Alaves, in particular, have been working hard to secure his arrival for next season. Close to official As confirmed by MARCA in a recent update, the Lekhedim to Deportivo Alaves deal is set to be officially announced this week and is very close to being officially completed. The player will sign for Real Madrid's La Liga rivals for four years. Also included in the deal is a buy-back clause for Real Madrid which will be active for the next two seasons. Advertisement The 19-year-old defender made Carlo Ancelotti's squad list on several occasions last season but did not make his debut for the first team. He played 35 games with the Castilla side in the RFEF Primera Division scoring one goal and providing four assists. The Spanish-Moroccan left-back, at this point, has little to no hope of making it big in the first team especially after the club officially announced the signing of Alvaro Carreras. After all, Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia are also in contention for the starting spot under Xabi Alonso. With the agreement reached and almost all formalities completed, the player will thus look to garner more minutes at his new club to continue his growth and make a case for Real Madrid to call him back.

Real Madrid confirm Raul Gonzalez replacement
After it was confirmed this week that Raul Gonzalez would be moving on, Real Madrid have announced his successor. It was well-known that Los Blancos have been impressed by him, and Alvaro Arbeloa will indeed take over as the Real Madrid Castilla manager ahead of the season. Arbeloa had been positioned to replace Raul as early as last summer, depending on whether he left. Earlier in the week it was announced by Real Madrid that Raul had decided to leave the club after six seasons as Castilla manager, and several Primera RFEF play-off appearances. The legendary forward also made it clear he planned to return later in his career. Alvaro Arbeloa takes over from Raul As detailed by the club statement, Arbeloa has a strong grounding at Real Madrid, coming through their academy system between 2001 and 2005. He would then return as a senior player in 2009, and make 238 appearances in seven years, winning eight trophies in the process, including two Champions Leagues and a Liga title. Image via Real Madrid CF Arbeloa has been amongst the youth ranks as a coach at Real Madrid for the past five years, first returning in 2020. For the past three years, he has been in charge of the under-19 side, where he has won the league twice, the Copa del Rey and Champions Cup for their respective age ranges. The 42-year-old has plenty of respect at Real Madrid, and supposedly the ear of President Florentino Perez. Previously, he has been considered as a potential first-team assistant, and he has a good relationship with Xabi Alonso. What next for Raul and La Fabrica? Raul looks set to pursue a managerial career elsewhere, with consistent interest from Germany, where he played for Schalke at the end of his career. Over the past two years, Villarreal, Espanyol and Sevilla have supposedly taken an interest in him. The word is that he was holding out for the senior job at Real Madrid, but Alonso's appointment is a third time he has been passed over. Meanwhile another former Real Madrid forward Julio Baptista is expected to take on a new role.
