Arsenal target young Real Madrid defender for summer move

By on May 15, 2025

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing Real Madrid’s Victor Valdepenas for a summer move.

The Gunners are looking to add more talent to their squad and are known for recruiting young players with great potential.

Valdepenas, who plays as a centre-back and left-back, is seen as a future star for the club.

Reports from Florian Plettenberg suggest that the North London club has added him to their shortlist for the upcoming transfer window.

Arsenal’s defensive options could be bolstered by the addition of the 19-year-old, who is highly regarded in Spain.

The Gunners are keen to strengthen their squad ahead of next season, and the versatile young defender fits their plans.

Valdepenas is praised for his defensive qualities and ability to play across the backline, a trait that will appeal to manager Mikel Arteta.

Valdepenas rising through the ranks at Real Madrid

Valdepenas has been making strides at Real Madrid, having played for both Real Madrid C and Castilla.

Under the guidance of legendary former player Raul Gonzalez, he has impressed with his performances.

The young defender has even trained with Real Madrid’s senior team and was part of the squad for their La Liga match against Villarreal in March.

Valdepenas is highly rated within the club and is considered one of their promising talents for the future.

If he were to move to Arsenal, he would have the chance to learn from experienced defenders such as Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori.

This could be a great opportunity for the young Spaniard to continue his development in a competitive environment.

According to Transfermarkt, Valdepenas is currently valued at £421,000.

However, his price could rise if Real Madrid are reluctant to part with one of their promising young players.

Arsenal will need to weigh their options carefully before making an official move for the talented defender this summer.
