Arsenal have been monitoring the development of Victor Valdepeñas, with Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen also interested in the 19-year-old Spain youth international. Despite the interest in the versatile defender, who can play at both left-back and centre-back, Real Madrid have not yet received any offers for him. It is expected that the interest will become more substantial in the summer. Valdepeñas's preference is to remain at Real Madrid, but it is acknowledged that progressing from the Castilla side into the first team has been difficult for players in recent years, making a future move a possibility. The situation is currently calm.
