Hectic March at the Real Madrid offices, where not only work is done to shape the first team squad for years to come. Having one of the best academies on the football planet is not a trivial task and, lately, the renovations of some of the biggest pearls that are polished in ‘La Fábrica’. Alejandro Martín Sapeg (February 16, 2006), one of the great talents of Cadet A directed by Álvaro Arbeloa, is the last one. Alex, as his surroundings know him, signed a new contract this Thursday that joins him to the white team, as AS has learned, until June 30, 2025. In this way, he joins Reyes Junior and Paulo Iago, teammates who sealed their respective new agreements with the merengue entity in recent weeks.
We talk about a powerful left winger of Dominican origin (by his mother), whose great season has left him on the brink of being called up to the Spanish Under-16 National Team commanded by José Lana. His look afro is as flashy as his football. He plays on the wide wing, where he exploits his speed, fondness for dribbling and strong shooting with his right foot. The ten goals this season (eight with Cadet A and two with Juvenile C) They show the good relationship he has with the rival goal. Both in driving and direct free kicks, a facet in which he has already given several direct goals to his particular compilation of highlights. Although it is his ability to overflow and verticality that has made him win comparatives, due to his style of play and tall physique, with Thierry Henry.
Until 2025
Madrid, although he had one more year left on his contract (2023), did not want to enter swampy ground and is betting on him, extending the relationship for two extra seasons. The negotiation of this new contract has been carried out by the British agency ‘Football Promotions’, with which Alex has been working for several years. At the signing he has been accompanied by his parents and José Manuel Espejo, his representative. In this way, is confirmed as a ‘veteran’ of Factory: arrived when he was just seven years old from Racing Villaverde from his native district, where he kicked the ball for the first time.

The renewal shoots Alex Martín directly to Juvenil C target for the next campaign. A category that, as we advanced, will not be alien to you. Pau Quesada has called him up three times this season. In his first two games, against Rayo Vallecano and Canillas, he scored a goal despite coming off the bench, while on February 13 he started against San Sebastián de los Reyes. In 2022-23, these presences will no longer be sporadic.
