Real Madrid's Manex Rezola impresses Mourinho ahead of Castilla season

Summary

Manex Rezola is emerging as a key figure for Real Madrid's Castilla ahead of the new season. The 19-year-old midfielder has caught the eye of first-team coach José Mourinho after strong performances last year. Following the departure of several veterans, Rezola is expected to take on a larger role despite potentially needing to adapt his position. Mourinho has included him in senior training sessions recently, indicating his rising profile within the club. While a first-team breakthrough remains unlikely, Rezola's talents are noted, and he will aim to help Castilla earn promotion.
