Iker Bravo, the young forward, has announced his decision to leave Real Madrid in pursuit of more significant playing opportunities. In a recent interview with @marca, Bravo expressed his desire to find a football project where he feels valued and sees substantial playing time.
Reasons Behind the Move
Bravo highlighted the intense competition within the squad, citing the presence of high-profile players like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Jude Bellingham as major obstacles to gaining playtime from the academy ranks. “Now there are Mbappé, Vini, Rodrygo, Jude… no space for Academy players,” Bravo told @marca.
Future Aspirations
Despite his departure, Bravo remains optimistic about his future and does not rule out a return to Real Madrid. He mentioned that with good performance metrics over the next few years, a comeback to his former club could be possible. “Maybe with good numbers in two or three years I could return to Real Madrid one day,” he stated.
Recent Context at Real Madrid
Real Madrid has recently bolstered their squad with significant signings, including Kylian Mbappé, who committed to a five-year contract with the club earlier this month. This move has added to the star-studded lineup that Bravo found challenging to break into.
