Víctor Valdepeñas, Real Madrid's 19-year-old Spanish defender who has made his first-team debut, is the subject of interest from two clubs in Serie A. Milan are interested in the player as part of their plan to sign a defender for the future. They face competition from Bologna, who have also been pursuing Valdepeñas for some time. The situation is being described as an Italian derby for his signature. Valdepeñas spent the 2025/2026 season primarily with the reserve team, making 50 appearances and scoring four goals across Spain's lower divisions. The Spain U19 international has five caps for his country, a contract with Real Madrid until 2029, and a current market value of €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
