Overview
- Thiago Pitarch said through Spain’s official channels that his dream is a senior debut and winning titles, adding that he plans to reach that level step by step.
- Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou publicly invited the dual‑eligible midfielder to join the Atlas Lions, saying they would receive him with open arms and noting his family ties to both countries.
- Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente said earlier this week that Pitarch remains committed to Spain, according to reports from Spanish outlets.
- Pitarch is playing with Spain’s U19s and remains free to choose either nation because youth appearances do not lock in a player until a senior competitive match.
- His decision carries extra weight as a rising Real Madrid starter, with Spain’s crowded midfield possibly delaying a senior call‑up and giving Morocco more chances to press its case.
