Overview
- Reports in Spain say Arsenal have registered interest in the 19-year-old, with AC Milan also keen and no bid on the table.
- Real Madrid extended his deal to 2029 with an increased exit clause, which would make any exit harder to achieve.
- Media valuations put a potential transfer near €50 million.
- Valdepeñas is a left-footed, 6ft 2in centre-back who can cover left-back but still lacks regular senior minutes.
- Arsenal’s left side already includes Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapié and Myles Lewis-Skelly, which could limit a clear pathway for a teenager.
