Jesus Vallejo is a real option for Madrid next season. The Aragonese has been on loan for the last two seasons (half at Wolverhampton and one and a half at Granada) and with the Nasrids he has achieved the regularity he so badly needed during this course: Although the duel against Zidane's men will be lost due to a muscular ailment, the center-back has played 2,324 minutes spread over 36 games. Since he made the jump to First with his loan to Eintracht in 2016-17, it is the course in which he has played the most minutes.
At 24 years old, the aragonese feels a lot now more mature than when Madrid made him a place in the first team for the first time, on the 2017-18 after his good performance in the Bundesliga. He has finally managed to put his injuries behind him, he has enjoyed confidence and has performed very well.
The summer is going to be moved in the Madrid defense. Ramos continues without renewing, while Varane will ask to leave and Madrid will listen to offers for him. Alaba is tied, but the white club will need another central defender in the event that Ramos and Varane leave. The good performance of Militao and Nacho, together with the need to use economic resources in other demarcations (Mbappé), give Jesus Vallejo options to have one second opportunity to succeed at Real Madrid.
Besoccer
In the white club there is full confidence in him, as evidenced by the fact that he was renewed for six seasons before of leaving Loaned to Wolverhampton in 2019. In other words, he still has four more years of contract with Real Madrid.
Besides the arrival of Alaba, in the white offices they like Koundé (Seville) and Pau Torres (Villarreal) a lot. The problem is the high price to pay for any of them. A few months ago it was a priority option if Varane left, but the performance of Militao has caused that already lest so fundamental make a strong investment In the back. In that scenario, Vallejo would have many options to be the fourth center of the squad.
The player
Vallejo, for his part, wants to return to Real Madrid. He believes that with 24 years it is time to settle in a club. He does not want any more assignments … The white club, therefore, must make a final decision in this regard: or make room for him in the first squad or look for a team that intends to pay a transfer for the center (its market value according to Transfermarkt is 5 million euros).
The Aragonese has an important showcase this summer, since it is the national team captain that will go to Olympic Games. The competition, however, will be tough. The normal thing is that Luis de la Fuente takes three centrals to the Olympic event and Eric García and Pau Torres, fixed with the Absolute, are of age and point to headlines. That third place must be disputed by the Aragonese with Unai Núñez, who is also part of the group of players who were U21 champions in 2019.
