According to AS, 19-year-old midfielder Sergio Martinez will join Real Madrid Castilla and will have the opportunity to train with the first team under Carlo Ancelotti.

Sergio Martinez's (19) future will be decided in the coming hours. The Racing Santander midfielder is willing to accept Real Madrid's offer to join as a member of Real Madrid Castilla and have the opportunity to train with the first team. However, negotiations between the two parties have made it clear that he will play for Real Madrid's second team. Racing Santander, Real Madrid and other interested clubs are all aware of this arrangement. According to the plan, the young Cantabrian player will leave his current club after the second round of the league against Getafe. According to this newspaper, the decision has been made, and now it is only a matter of finalizing the new contract.

The hardest part is that after making his La Liga debut last weekend and scoring the best goal of the round, he still has to step down to the Primera Federación. The appeal of Real Madrid and the possibility of entering the first team became the decisive factors for the midfielder to finally accept this arrangement. In the second half of last season, Sergio Martinez entered Racing Santander's first team and made 10 appearances in the Segunda División. In recent days, Racing Santander and the player have received countless inquiries, and many clubs have tried to sign him. Barcelona, Villarreal and Atlético Madrid found that all their efforts were in vain in the face of the player's determination to wear a Real Madrid jersey. As in previous operations, Real Madrid hopes to offer a package higher than the 3 million euro release clause.

Real Madrid has been seeking to reach an agreement with the Cantabrian club to avoid any tension caused by this deal. Real Madrid has been observing this player for a long time, and the outside world's perception that this stems solely from his sudden rise in La Liga is misleading. Real Madrid's interest in him has a long history, and they regard this Cantabrian midfielder as a young talent worth recruiting. At this stage, they plan to develop him at Real Madrid Castilla first.
