"Marca" reported that many top European clubs, including Premier League teams, Dortmund and Juventus, are paying attention to the performance of 18-year-old Real Madrid central defender Joan Martinez.
These teams originally planned to conduct on-site inspections when the Real Madrid youth team went to Liverpool to participate in the UEFA Youth League. However, this operation ultimately failed to materialize. Since Juan Martinez had just played the entire game for Castilla on the previous Sunday, considering the lack of recovery time for Tuesday afternoon's game, he did not travel to Liverpool with the youth team.
This situation made many club executives who came specially to watch the game and prepare to decide whether to move forward with the transfer based on their performance to be disappointed. The scene was enveloped in an atmosphere of shock and confusion.
Although it has attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs, Real Madrid seems to be taking its time. The club has renewed the long-term contract with the player when he turns 18 in September this year, and has set a liquidated damages clause of up to 150 million euros, clearly treating him as not for sale.
Joan Martinez has now fully recovered from serious injuries. Not only is he the absolute main force in the Castilla team coached by Alberoa, he has also participated in the first-team training led by Alonso many times, and is regarded by the club as a key training target in the future.
