One of the brightest talents of the Real academy today is teenage star Paulo Iago. The central midfielder quickly progressed through the ranks at Madrid and is currently playing for Real Madrid Juvenil A.

Following an extension until 2025 last summer, he is now entering the final stretch of his contract. But doubts are being raised about his ability to stay due to decreasing playing time and interest from foreign teams.

According to journalist Manuel Amor, Paulo Iago’s situation makes Real Madrid doubt his ability to stick around . Despite being informed by the club that he remains in the plans for the future, the youngster and his team do not believe this will happen any time soon.

Having started 2 of the last 6 matches, it is no longer difficult to understand that the player represented by Jorge Mendes chooses to pursue his career elsewhere. Time will tell whether Real Madrid will make enough efforts to retain him.
