Italian-English Struggle to Acquire Real Madrid's Jewel
Tuesday 17-02-2026
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Real Madrid's left-back Victor Valdebenias has become a serious target for Arsenal, with the London club closely monitoring his situation at Real Madrid in anticipation of his potential departure in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Romano explained via his account on platform X that Arsenal has been following the player since last October, evaluating his contractual situation and playing opportunities, while awaiting the Royal Club's management decision regarding his future.

In the same context, Romano pointed to genuine interest from AC Milan, indicating a potential competition between the two clubs to acquire the young player if the Royal Club decides to let him go.

The Italian journalist confirmed that Real Madrid has not yet made a final decision, especially with the anticipation of the technical staff's stance and whether Alvaro Arbeloa will continue as the permanent coach for the team next season, a factor that could directly affect the player's future.

The picture is expected to become clearer in the coming months, amid increasing interest that may make Valdebenias' file one of the most prominent issues on the Royal Club's management table this summer.
