Real Madrid receive up to seven loan offers for academy midfielder – report | OneFootball

The Real Madrid transfer news continues to revolve around squad planning ahead of the new season, and one player whose future remains unresolved is academy midfielder Thiago Pitarch.

According to journalist Miguel Serrano, Real Madrid have already received up to seven loan proposals for the youngster, but the club has not yet made a final decision regarding his next step.

The journalist suggests that despite the growing interest, there is no urgency within Valdebebas to settle the situation. 

This is because club officials want Jose Mourinho to take a closer look at the midfielder during pre-season before determining whether he should remain with the first team or head out on loan for the 2026-27 campaign.

The youngster made his first-team breakthrough under Alvaro Arbeloa last season and managed to earn valuable experience around the senior setup.

However, Real Madrid’s plans to strengthen the midfield further this summer have complicated his immediate prospects.

At the same time, departures are also expected to take place in the coming weeks in order to accommodate potential new arrivals, and Pitarch’s case fits perfectly into that discussion.

According to Serrano, seven clubs from Spain have already approached Real Madrid regarding a loan move, while Fulham are also monitoring the player’s situation.

For the moment, though, the club prefers to remain patient because Mourinho is expected to assess Pitarch during pre-season before giving his verdict on the composition of the squad.

While it is true that Pitarch could provide additional depth in midfield, Real Madrid believe regular minutes would be more beneficial for his long-term development.

That is why a temporary departure currently appears to be the most realistic scenario.

Unlike other situations where Real Madrid have opted for permanent sales combined with buy-back clauses, the club do not intend to part ways with Pitarch permanently.

The midfielder is considered an asset for the future and remains highly valued internally, which is why a loan deal is viewed as the preferred solution, allowing the player to continue his progression while remaining under Real Madrid’s control.
