Carlo Ancelotti has made a clear decision regarding the future of Jesús Vallejo at Real Madrid. The Italian coach has informed the center-back that he does not count on him for the remainder of the season, and if he finds an offer in the winter transfer market, he is free to accept it. During the recent team gathering in Bergamo, Ancelotti conveyed his position to the player, making it clear that his continuity in the club depends solely on him.
The Aragonese center-back, who has had little prominence in recent seasons, had the option to leave Real Madrid last summer but chose to stay with the hope of contributing when needed. However, the situation has not changed, and Vallejo has barely featured in Ancelotti's plans, who only sees him as an alternative in emergencies or less demanding matches.
Great attitude, but no opportunity at Real Madrid
Despite his secondary role, Vallejo has earned the respect of his teammates due to his professionalism and positive attitude. His daily effort and willingness to help at all times are praised by his peers. However, as reported by 'Defensa Central', the lack of opportunities and the coach's clear message could push him to seek a new destination in January.
Several teams, especially from the Second Division, have shown interest in the center-back, who is still looking to regain the continuity he lost after a series of unsuccessful loans to First Division teams. With a contract until 2025, Vallejo might choose to take a step back in his career to revive it in an environment that guarantees him playing time and confidence. Real Madrid, on the other hand, seems willing to facilitate his departure, acknowledging the player's effort and professionalism but realizing that his time at the club has come to an end.
