Real Madrid could bid goodbye to four La Fabrica products this summer – report
Real Madrid are preparing for another busy summer in their academy structure, with several promising talents expected to move on in search of regular senior football.
According to AS, the latest Real Madrid Castilla departures could involve Fran Gonzalez, David Jimenez, Manuel Angel and Cesar Palacios, all of whom are approaching crucial moments in their careers.
Each player remains hopeful of earning a place in the first team, but the reality within Mourinho’s squad suggests opportunities will be extremely limited.
Hence, if those openings fail to materialise, departures are becoming increasingly likely.
Fran Gonzalez and David Jimenez facing uncertain futures
Among the expected Real Madrid Castilla departures, goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez appears one of the clearest cases.
At 21 years old, the academy graduate has reached an age where regular minutes are considered essential for his progression. However, the pathway to the first team remains blocked.
With Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin expected to remain at the club next season, the possibility of breaking into the senior squad is virtually non-existent.
As a result, Real Madrid are strongly considering a loan move, allowing the goalkeeper to gain valuable experience before reassessing his future.
Meanwhile, David Jimenez finds himself in a more complicated position.
The arrival of Denzel Dumfries has further reduced his chances of securing a first-team role, leaving him with two realistic options: continue with Castilla or seek opportunities elsewhere.
Right now, the second scenario currently appears more probable.
As per the outlet, the club is prioritising a permanent transfer while retaining 50% of his future rights, a formula Real Madrid have increasingly adopted with academy talents.
Manuel Angel set for exit, Palacios awaits Mourinho decision
Of the four players mentioned, Manuel Angel is considered the most likely to leave.
In fact, a final decision has already been reached, with no space available for him in Jose Mourinho’s first-team plans.
The midfielder’s ambition is to continue his development in La Liga, and conversations with Deportivo are already underway.
The proposed agreement would follow Madrid’s preferred model, involving a sale while retaining half of the player’s economic rights.
Lastly, the situation surrounding Cesar Palacios is slightly different.
Unlike the others, Palacios has been given an opportunity to impress during pre-season after a direct request from Jose Mourinho.
The youngster will train with the first team in the coming weeks and use that period to evaluate whether there is any realistic path towards remaining in the senior squad.
However, it is said that despite the opportunity, expectations remain modest because competition for places is fierce, and there are currently few openings available.
Should a first-team role fail to emerge, Palacios is also expected to move on.
Interest from Premier League clubs remains strong, and a transfer with Madrid retaining 50% of his rights is understood to be the preferred outcome.

Just in: Real Madrid reach six-year renewal agreement until 2032 with young playmaker – Romano
In a major update, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid and Arda Guler have reached an agreement over a contract renewal for the young playmaker.
This development comes only a little after reports emerged stating that Los Blancos had begun work on extending the Turkish international’s contract.
Six-year extension for Guler
As per the update from Romano, Guler and Real Madrid have agreed on terms over a new six-year contract which will see the 21-year-old starlet commit to the club until the summer of 2032.
The former Fenerbahce had no hesitation in saying yes, having steadily grown into an important player at the Santiago Bernabeu.
🚨⚪️ BREAKING: Arda Güler has agreed to sign new deal at Real Madrid! 🔐🇹🇷
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) September 10, 2026
The agreement is done and set to be announced soon — understand it will be valid until June 2032, six years.

Real Madrid signed Guler from Fenebahce back in the summer of 2023, beating arch-rivals FC Barcelona to his signing.
Having arrived as a teenager, the Turkish starlet had to bide his time to gain prominence in the team despite showing his immense potential and quality regularly.
Now, Guler is seen as one of Real Madrid’s most important cogs under Jose Mourinho, cementing his place in the team on the right flank, even ahead of the club’s €140 million summer signing Yan Diomande.
So far this term, Guler has played four matches in all competitions, scoring and assisting one goal apiece for the Merengues.
He missed this week’s UEFA Champions League opener against Inter Milan due to a suspension.
Securing the future
Guler’s current contract with Real Madrid stood to run until 2029, but with his growing stature within the team, the club have moved quickly to secure his long-term future.
The 21-year-old is now expected to extend his stay at the Bernabeu until 2032, while also seeing a substantial increase in his salary at the club.
Following the renewal of Vinicius Jr. during the summer, Real Madrid continue to consolidate their squad, with Guler’s extension now all but completed.
Thibaut Courtois is also in line for a new deal, with a meeting set for the coming weeks, while the Merengues are also expected to begin talks over an extension for key midfielder Jude Bellingham.
