Real Madrid defensive prodigy could leave on loan due to contract loophole amid interest

Real Madrid youth prodigy Jesus Fortea is currently at a very important stage of his career.

Though still just a youth player with no real experience of the first-team, Fortea has become the subject of interest for a myriad of top clubs across Europe.

This has put pressure on Real Madrid, who are yet to offer Fortea any real opportunity to break into the first team. And it is this indecisiveness that may prove to be costly for Los Blancos, potentially leading them to lose the player.

The loophole in Fortea’s contract

According to MARCA, Fortea’s contract contains a clause that could allow the youngster to leave Valdebebas unilaterally this summer, without Real Madrid being able to block his departure.

If the club does not register him with the first team next season, Fortea is entitled to leave on loan to any club playing in a higher division than Castilla, provided such an offer arrives.

Ajax, Porto, Bayer Leverkusen and several La Liga clubs have all been credited with interest in the right-back.
