Real Madrid have taken as many as nine youth team prospects to the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA.
This group includes experienced names like Chema Andres, Jacobo Ramon, Victor Munoz, Gonzalo Garcia, Jesus Fortea, and Diego Aguado.
However, not all are expected to remain under the club’s umbrella next season, having completed their cycle with Castilla.
As such, MARCA reports that Borussia Dortmund are set to make a fresh attempt to sign Diego Aguado from Real Madrid.
A few weeks ago, Borussia Dortmund submitted an offer for Aguado, worth around €6 million, which was turned down by Los Blancos.
However, now, the German giants are set to return with an improved bid, hoping to convince decision-makers at Valdebebas to reconsider.

Dortmund are offering the 18-year-old defensive prodigy minutes and first-team involvement – an attractive prospect for any young player.
However, Aguado remains focused on succeeding at Real Madrid. For now, he continues training with the senior squad in Palm Beach, and no decision will be made until after the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid rate Aguado very highly and see him as a potential first-team player for years to come. As such, it is extremely unlikely that any offers will be accepted for the teenage Spaniard this summer.
The likely scenario will be that Aguado continues to play for Castilla under Alvaro Arbeloa while Xabi Alonso continues to monitor him closely with an eye on integrating him into the Real Madrid first-team setup in the near future.
