Fabregas wants to take another Real Madrid teenage prospect to Como – report
Over the past couple of summers, Real Madrid have sold two very promising academy talents to Serie A up-and-comers Como 1907.
Back in the summer of 2024, it was Nico Paz who made the switch from the Spanish capital to Italy. Last year, it was Jacobo Ramon who followed in the footsteps of his former teammate.
And, it is safe to say that the move has worked wonders for both players as they have developed wonderfully during their time under Cesc Fabregas at Como.
So much so that, Real Madrid are set to exercise their buyback option for Nico Paz this summer, while they intend to do the same with Ramon in 2027.
Daniel Yanez on Como’s radar
Now, according to reports in Italy, as relayed by AS, Fabregas has now set his sights on yet another young prospect coming through the ranks at Real Madrid – Daniel Yanez.
Indeed, the former Barcelona midfielder turned manager wants to take the 19-year-old forward from Real Madrid to Como in the summer.
Currently a part of the Castilla setup, Yanez has been at Real Madrid since 2019 when he joined La Fabrica from the Cadiz academy.
The teenage winger has 28 league appearances for Castilla this season, recording four goals and three assists.
Yanez made his first-team debut for Real Madrid back in December 2024, under then-manager Carlo Ancelotti. He has played one more game for the senior team, which came this season, in which he also recorded an assist.
Yanez’s contract with Real Madrid runs until 2029. But, considering that a first-team spot might not be available next season, there could be a possibility that the club decide to sell him to Como, while retaining control over his future – like with Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon.
With the international break done and dusted, Real Madrid will be back in action this weekend in La Liga, where they will be looking to catch up to league leaders FC Barcelona.
Coming up for Jose Mourinho & co., who lost their last game before the international break, will be a home game against Villarreal on Saturday.
And, leading up to the game, the Spanish capital club have received welcome news on the injury front.
Mbappe back in group training
Indeed, as per MARCA, Kylian Mbappe will be available for Real Madrid’s match against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Having been training individually so far this week, the France captain rejoined group training under Mourinho today, taking a concrete step forward towards making himself available for the game.
The forward looked relaxed and ready to work, putting his boots back on and joining the group as Real Madrid prepare for a demanding run of fixtures throughout October.
And, unless there is any unforeseen setback, everything suggests that Mbappe will be ready to start against the Yellow Submarine come Saturday.
Under scrutiny
The past few weeks have been nothing short of eventful for Mbappe, with his every action and movement under heavy scrutiny.
Playing for France, in Zinedine Zidane’s managerial debut, the 27-year-old superstar scored a goal before asking for a substitution due to a knee injury.
Having flown back to Madrid, he underwent tests, which confirmed the injury, although it was not as serious as was initially feared.
The forward then took week-long holiday with his partner that sparked some debate among supporters and attracted criticism from multiple quarters.
Mbappe returned to Madrid on Monday and participated in individual sessions at Valdebebas over the past couple of days. Now he has resumed normal training with his teammates.
There had been doubts over whether Mbappe would be able to face Villarreal after he picked up the injury on 25 September.
However, the recovery plan followed by the forward appears to have worked, and he is now expected to be in a fully fit condition for Saturday’s match.
