Real Madrid Decides on Pietarch's Future

Real Madrid has decided to retain Thiago Pitarc and will not allow his departure during the summer transfer window, a move that reflects the club's trust in the young midfielder. He will be part of the first team next season under the management of José Mourinho.

According to "AS", Pietarch will be treated as a full first-team player, despite having a record with the Castilla team due to a lack of available squad numbers in the first team. The player will not drop down to the reserve team but will continue to work permanently with the first group.

There were several offers for Bitarach's services, the most notable being Fulham's, which combined financial incentives with an important role for the player in their project. However, the player's desire was clear; he preferred to stay at Real Madrid and fight for his place in the first team.

Pietarch's injury at the start of pre-season threatened his debut with the first team, as he suffered damage to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, sidelining him for approximately a month and a half. Despite this setback, the injury did not affect Mourinho's belief in his capabilities, and the club continued to support him throughout his recovery.

The newspaper reported that Mourinho sees Bittarch as capable of competing in midfield alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and Bernardo Silva, giving the young player a real opportunity to prove himself.

The newspaper concluded that Real Madrid has decided to rely on one of the club's top academy talents to be present and future with the first team, especially after the failure of the Rodrygo deal.
