Arbeloa's Fulham Snaps Up Another Real Madrid Star
1 Aug
Summary
- Fulham targets Real Madrid midfielder Thiago Pitarch.
- Real Madrid previously sold two players to Fulham for €50 million.
- Pitarch's recent injury delays transfer talks.
Alvaro Arbeloa, a former Real Madrid figure, appears to be leveraging his connections as Fulham targets another player from his old club. Following Fulham's recent €50 million deal for Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios, the English club has identified Real Madrid midfielder Thiago Pitarch as a potential signing.
Negotiations for Pitarch are progressing slowly, with Fulham prioritizing other squad improvements. The midfielder's recent injury, which will sideline him for approximately two months, has also reduced the urgency of this transfer. Talks have begun, and Fulham is optimistic about the player's interest, particularly given the presence of former teammates and Arbeloa.
Pitarch faces an uncertain future at Real Madrid, having lost his primary advocate after Arbeloa's departure. With Jose Mourinho at the helm, he is expected to primarily feature for Castilla, making a move to Fulham an attractive development opportunity.
