In a move that underscores Real Madrid's interest in young talents, Xabi Alonso, the coach of the royal club, has invited midfielder Thiago Petarch, of Moroccan origin, to participate in the first team training in preparation for the start of the 2025-2026 season.

Petarch is 18 years old and is considered one of the standout talents in the Real Madrid Castilla team, having shown impressive performance in recent times, which led the coaching staff to give him the opportunity to engage in first team training.

This invitation reflects Alonso's confidence in the academy's players and his efforts to provide some young elements with the opportunity to progress to the first team, as part of the renewal policy that Real Madrid is pursuing.

It is worth noting that the royal club currently has several players of Moroccan origin, such as Ibrahim Diaz in the first team, and Rashad Fattal and Thiago Petarch in the club's reserve team.
