Sergio Arribas has been a bonafide star for Real Madrid Castilla over the past few years.
His season for Raul Gonzalez’s side has been nothing short of spectacular as he has racked up 15 goals and seven assists in 31 appearances so far.
The youngster has been knocking on the doors of the first team for a long time now but has found chances hard to find with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm. Now, it slowly appears he is outgrowing the youth team and that he is ready for the next big step in his career.
According to reports from MARCA, Arribas is still pushing for a spot in the Real Madrid first team for next season but his future is far from certain considering the number of clubs pursuing him.
The youngster will play in the top division come June, but it is unclear if it will be for Real Madrid or another club.
Arribas is no stranger to playing for the first team and has even made three appearances for the Merengues this season. Notably, he found the back of the net in Real Madrid’s Club World Cup semifinal against Al Ahly.
There is no doubt that Arribas has the quality to succeed at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, the club worry that he will see an acute drought for minutes if promoted next season given the presence of Dani Ceballos, Luka Modric, and Marco Asensio, all of whom are expected to renew, plus the return of Brahim Diaz on loan.
The attacking midfielder is likely to make the preseason squad in the summer, and his performances there could have a bearing on his future. As of today, a loan move or a permanent transfer with a buy-back clause are amongst the club’s options.
