“We have had informal talks with people from Real,” Blanco began. “We aren’t ruling out giving him to them on loan, but with a high option to buy.”
According to the report, Martinez would likely join Real’s Castilla team.
Should the teenager move to the Bernabeu, he would follow a long tradition of Argentine players looking to make their name with the Blancos.
