However, far from inquiring about the transfer market, Carlo Ancelotti found the Croatian's successor in the Madrid youth academy.

The midfielder born in Tenerife is one of Ancelotti's weaknesses, where he even tried to promote him to the First Division this season, but from RM Castilla they told him that he should stay there for one more season.

This is because he was still a youth, but the truth is that the Italian has already told the managers that he wants to have the player from the Argentine National Team for next season. At only 18 years old, he has become the star of the academy and also of the Argentine national team and his breakthrough in the first level must come as quickly as possible.

Despite the rumors about a possible move to the Brazilian National Team, 'Carletto' will fulfill his contract with Real Madrid and will be the coach until June 2024. Everything will depend on whether or not he manages to lift the Champions League, however, already He is planning the next season, where Nico Paz will be an important piece in the rotation: "If there is space, I want him on my squad."
