Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to let another batch of Castilla talents leave for relatively modest fees, often including sell-on clauses. One standout this season is Victor Valdepenas, a versatile left-back who made his first-team debut against Deportivo Alaves last December.
Last summer, Chema Andres, Jacobo Ramon, and Victor Munoz departed for a combined €15 million, with 50% future sell-on clauses. Valdepenas attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund but chose to stay in Madrid.
With three left-backs already in the squad and central defense a top priority, Valdepenas faces a tough path to regular first-team action.
Recently, AC Milan have joined the chase, monitoring his situation closely, according to journalist Matteo Moretto. Strong relations between Madrid and Milan, evidenced by the Alex Jimenez transfer, could ease negotiations.
Milan’s interest also sets up potential competition with Arsenal, who, like Dortmund last season, remain keen on the Spanish youngster.
