Real Madrid began their short preseason on Monday, preparing for the start of the 2025/26 season against Osasuna in two weeks.
Xabi Alonso has already had a good look at his players during the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, with the exception of a few players who were injured.
At the same time, the new manager is keeping an eye on the youth and reserve squads for promising players with promise.
Alonso summoned up Diego Aguado and Daniel Yanez to exercise on Monday, the first day of preseason. Today, a new face was invited to join the senior staff.
Thiago Pitarch trains with the Real Madrid first team
Indeed, according to journalist June Lavin, Real Madrid’s adolescent prodigy Thiago Pitarch is currently training with the first-team squad under the supervision of Xabi Alonso.
Pitarch, a young midfielder who turned 18 this weekend, is regarded as one of the most promising young prospects to emerge from La Fabrica.
The midfielder, who joined Real Madrid from Leganes in 2023, has been practicing with Castilla under Alvaro Arbeloa since the beginning of their preseason and was an outstanding performer.
Alonso was impressed with the youngster and decided to offer Pitarch the opportunity to work with the main group today at Valdebebas.
It is well known at this point that the Real Madrid manager is eager to add a new midfielder to the squad, but the club has yet to find the appropriate player on the market.
