Fulham remains a club frequently linked with acquiring talent from Real Madrid, with reports suggesting the club may secure a third player from the Spanish giants. According to the Spanish publication Marca, there is significant progress regarding the transfer of Thiago Pitarch to the London-based club, with the agreement reportedly being imminent. The move appears to have received endorsement from Fulham’s coaching staff.
Alvaro Arbeloa, a former player for Real Madrid, is reported to have given the green light for the transfer of the 18-year-old defender. Although Pitarch may not be slated for a significant role within Jose Mourinho’s immediate plans at Real Madrid, his connection with Arbeloa is notable. Arbeloa has previously played a mentoring role in Pitarch’s development.
The former defender was instrumental in facilitating three of the player’s most important career debuts. Specifically, Arbeloa initially advanced Pitarch into the Real Madrid U-19 squad, later promoting him to Castilla, and providing continued support throughout the last season. The ongoing interest highlights a developing relationship between Fulham and the players within the Real Madrid academy structure.
The potential transfer of Pitarch underscores Fulham’s continued efforts to strengthen its squad depth by scouting and recruiting from major Spanish clubs like Real Madrid.
