Aston Villa are interested in signing the Real Madrid midfielder Thiago Pitarch at the end of the season.
According to a report from Spain, Aston Villa have submitted a €25 million offer for the 18-year-old playmaker, and it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid is prepared to sanction his departure.
They might not be able to offer him regular opportunities right now, and moving to the Premier League could be more exciting for the youngster. He needs to play more often in order to continue his development. Pitarch has played 291 minutes in La Liga this season.
Aston Villa have an ambitious project and a top-quality manager like Unai Emery, who can play a key role in his development. The youngster will have plenty of opportunities to play for elite clubs in future if he manages to fulfil his potential.
The West Midlands club is looking to build a formidable project for the future and is prepared to invest in talented young players. They believe the Real Madrid youngster has the potential to become a key player for the club. They have been closely monitoring his progress and have received very positive reports.
They need more creativity, technical ability, and composure in the middle of the park. Pitarch is blessed with impressive vision, passing ability and practical intelligence. He could prove to be a bargain at €25 million. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Real Madrid might not be keen on losing a top prospect like him. Even if they sanction his departure, they could seek to control his future by including a buy-back clause, as they have in the past with Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon.
