Newly promoted Málaga is interested in Thiago Pitarch, an 18-year-old Spanish and Moroccan midfielder from Real Madrid. According to reports from Italy, Fiorentina is also interested in the player. Italian media state that Fiorentina's proposal involves purchasing 50% of Pitarch's rights, which would leave Real Madrid with the other 50% and buy-back options. The midfielder's future at his current club is not certain, as the arrival of Bernardo Silva and Mourinho's insistence on signing a midfielder could result in his departure. The midfielder has 9 caps for Spain U19. His contract with the club runs until June 2027, and his market value on Transfermarkt is €20.00m.
