Thiago Pitarch, an 18-year-old Spanish and Moroccan midfielder, has still not spoken with Mourinho, who will take him to pre-season training. His future will be decided there. Clubs such as Málaga are monitoring his situation, although the Real Madrid midfielder, if he leaves, prefers to do so for a team that plays in the Champions League. His contract with the club runs until 2027 and his current Transfermarkt market value is €20.00m. Last season, Pitarch made 10 appearances in LaLiga, providing 2 assists, and has also been capped 9 times for Spain's U19 team.
