Real Madrid's Jesus Vallejo: A Promising Young Defender

The fact that Aragonese defender Jesús Vallejo has only played 12 matches in his first season with Real Madrid shows that he still has a long way to go to establish himself as one of the team's new defensive leaders. Although he has performed well in every appearance, the club feels that he is not fully ready to handle the pressure of playing week after week for a team that faces so many demands.

For this reason, it is uncertain whether Vallejo will continue with the team next season, or if the club will opt to loan him out to gain more playing time and experience. According to As, if the latter option is chosen, teams such as Getafe and Eintracht Frankfurt would be delighted to have him. Both clubs have strong relationships with Real Madrid and would use this opportunity to their advantage.

However, it seems that the new coach of Real Madrid, Julen Lopetegui, will have the final say in this matter. The Basque coach, who recently brought Vallejo to Russia for the Spanish National Team's training sessions before the start of the World Cup, values his talent and maturity. He might offer Vallejo the chance to continue with the first team, with the promise of more playing time.

Although he is only 21 years old and has a long future ahead of him, it is clear that the 2018-2019 season will be crucial for Vallejo's future. Like many other young footballers, all Vallejo needs is the right dose of confidence to establish himself at the highest level.
