Real Madrid youngster permanently promoted to senior team | OneFootball

Real Madrid youngster Thiago Pitarch has been afforded a permanent place in the club’s first-team setup moving forward.

That’s according to Marca, who have on Friday provided an update on the midfielder’s situation in Spain’s capital.

Pitarch has of course seen his name emerge as an altogether prominent one at Real Madrid over the last month.

This comes after the Spanish starlet was afforded a sudden chance to impress at senior level.

Amid a personnel crisis in the engine room ranks of Los Blancos’ squad, Álvaro Arbeloa, who previously oversaw Pitarch’s development at Castilla level, called upon his former midfield standout.

And Pitarch has since gone on to take full advantage of his opportunity.

Remarkably, across Real Madrid’s last five fixtures in all competitions, the 18-year-old has featured from the off in each and every one.

This includes a pair of Champions League outings against Manchester City.

And as alluded to above, so impressive has his form been along the way, that Pitarch has done enough to earn for himself a permanent first-team berth.

As per a report from Marca:

‘The manager considers him a key player for the remainder of the season and has already made a firm decision: the player will not return to the reserve team under any circumstances.’
