Real Madrid's training system has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks as managers rely on their academy to compensate for the first team's spate of injuries.
This is an area that the Whites are looking to strengthen in the coming months, with Tenerife midfielder Aaron Martin the subject of their attentions. According to Relevo, Los Blancos are interested in Martin, who impressed in Segunda with the Canaries, and who has made 8 first team appearances so far this season, also scoring his first goal. However, Sevilla are currently best placed to sign the diminutive midfielder.
Seville is not far
He is not the only name the Whites are chasing, with Castilla and Real Madrid C needing reinforcements due to injuries and promotions. Celta Vigo defender Javi Rodriguez was in their sights but recently signed a new contract, while midfielders Diego Mendez of Leganes and Naim of Rayo Vallecano are also players they are monitoring.
It was recently stated that Carlo Ancelotti is unconvinced by the training opportunities available to him, despite La Fabrica being considered one of the best academies in Spain. It regularly produces footballers who go on to brilliant careers, but rarely at Real Madrid.
