Spanish football journalist and pundit, Balague claims that the 16-year-old seeks a short term loan move elsewhere to continue his development:

“Real want him to stay and start improving himself, with no goals scored yet this season, but he would like to move on on loan. Conversations should take place soon about it.”

Although it’s more likely that Los Blancos would want him to stay in Spain, a potential loan move will undoubtedly alert a number of Premier League clubs.
