Real Madrid youth starlet could sign for La Liga rivals this month – report
Real Madrid have had no shortage of in-house talents in recent years and even now, the club have a series of youngsters lined up and ready to make an impact at the highest level.
One of them is Peter Federico, a winger currently plying his trade for RM Castilla. However, it appears the youngster could be set for a change of scenery in this January transfer window, as he closes in on a potential exit from Madrid.
Valencia closing in on Peter Federico capture
According to Mundo Deportivo, Valencia are on the verge of securing the signing of Peter Federico in this January transfer window.
As per the report, Valencia and Real Madrid have reached an agreement over a short-term loan deal for Federico.
That means Federico will play for Valencia until the end of the season. The Spanish outfit will have a non-obligatory option to purchase the player as well.
This could be a significant deal for Valencia, as Federico is regarded as one of the top talents at RM Castilla.
The player has been a regular feature for the subsidiary squad this season and is known for his ability to play on both flanks. In fact, Federico has featured in three senior matches for Real Madrid as well.
Valencia faces a roadblock
However, before Valencia can close this deal, they are facing a slight financial roadblock.
It appears Los Che do not have the financial capacity to pull off the loan deal. It seems the club must offload some unwanted stars before they can register Federico this January.
Valencia are open to offloading Cenk Ozkacar and Gabriel Paulista, but they are yet to find a proper suitor for these two individuals.

Real Madrid impressed by midfielder’s role with national team, believe Mourinho can replicate it
According to journalist Anton Meana on SER Deportivos, Eduardo Camavinga’s role with the French national team is attracting attention inside Real Madrid.
The midfielder has not enjoyed his best spell in a Real Madrid shirt and has come under scrutiny for his recent performances, particularly his display against Bayern Munich, which many felt contributed to the club’s elimination from last season’s Champions League.
Although Camavinga has not been one of Jose Mourinho’s most frequently used players since the new season began, his situation could now change, particularly after his performances during the latest international break.
Camavigna impressed with France
During the international break, Camavinga earned a recall to the French national team under new manager Zinedine Zidane.
And the 23-year-old starlet made the most of his chance, impressing in the two starts he made against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League.
The France coaching staff is understood to have been very pleased with the midfielder, and now, it seems that those at Real Madrid have taken pointers from the development.
“At the club, they are happy with the role that Zinedine Zidane, Florentino Pérez’s favourite coach, has given Camavinga with France,” Meana explained.
Real Madrid want to see more of Camavinga on the ball
At Real Madrid, there is a belief that the version of Camavinga seen with France is particularly valuable.
He has been active both with and without the ball, operating in midfield and playing more as a number six than a deeper holding midfielder.
The club believe that this version of Camavinga gives France a great deal and that Mourinho could replicate the approach at Real Madrid.
The club’s midfield department continues to generate doubts, with none of the players making the starting spots their own.
Tthe names of Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde and Bernardo Silva have all been considered, but there remains a feeling inside Real Madrid that the midfield lacks enough creativity and control.
Camavinga could therefore have an important role in addressing that problem, particularly if he can reproduce the performances he has delivered under Zidane with France.
“It is an alternative that the club views favourably after what they have seen from Zidane’s France during this international break, with the idea that Eduardo Camavinga should have more involvement in the team’s possession,” Meana concluded.
Camavinga, for his part, is aware that he has been unable to live up to his full potential at Real Madrid so far. Having shown signs of regaining form and confidence, he will be gunning to build on it once he returns to the club.
