Fortea can sign a senior contract that is longer than three years once he turns 18 in 2026. Fortea, who has long been regarded as one of the top talents in Spanish football, joined Real Madrid two summers ago from Atletico Madrid after Los Blancos decided it was worth breaching their non-aggression agreement to get him.
Given his high regard, Fortea, who is now playing for Alvaro Arbeloa's under-19 team, is regarded as one of the top players of his age and is projected to succeed Dani Carvajal in the "medium-term." Diario AS reports that Real Madrid is prepared to let go of Brazilian defender Vinicius Tobias and right-back Alex Jimenez, who is on loan at Milan and is playing well, because of Fortea's potential. Jimenez is a regular in his age group for the national team. It might not be too long until he makes his first-team debut if all goes according to plan.
