Real Madrid assure 16-year-old prodigy about renewal despite serious injury

Joan Martinez was one of the most talked about prospects in the Real Madrid camp during the pre-season campaign.

Compared to the legendary Sergio Ramos for his defensive skills, many expected Martinez to make the big leap to the senior team next season, on the back of his impressive performances in the youth competitions.

However, Martinez suffered a massive blow this week as he picked up a serious ACL injury which could leave him out on the sidelines for at least 6-7 months.

Real Madrid to hand Martinez a renewal

Following the news of his injury, Joan Martinez has received immense support from his Real Madrid teammates and fans alike.

And now, it seems Real Madrid themselves are ready to extend their support to the player by handing him a contract renewal.

This is according to MARCA, which suggests Real Madrid have asked to player to remain calm and have guaranteed him a new deal that could see him join the senior team.

As a matter of fact, Los Blancos are planning to improve the terms of the deal that was agreed earlier, as a token of support for the young defender.

Real Madrid are hopeful this could boost Martinez’s confidence and help him recover from his injury as soon as possible.

The reigning European champions see Joan Martinez with great hopes and expectations, especially in light of the club’s lack of depth in the defensive unit.

Martinez, therefore, has a considerable chance of making a name for himself by becoming Real Madrid’s fourth-choice centre-back in the near future.

For now, though, the young Spaniard will shift his focus to recovery.
