Real Madrid emphasizes La Fabrica as key to future plans with Mourinho

Real Madrid intends to focus on La Fabrica, the club's academy, as a central element of its sporting and financial strategy, as discussed by Jose Mourinho and general director Jose Angel Sanchez. They attended the youth Intercontinental Cup final to observe young talent. The aim is to consistently develop players who can compete at a high level without the expectation that all must join the first team. Mourinho is closely monitoring academy prospects, with players like Thiago Pitarch gaining senior experience, demonstrating the academy's potential impact beyond player development, including future transfers.
