Top FIVE Real Madrid Youth Players from ‘La Fabrica’ (Youth Academy)

Derik Osede

Also six feet tall, he’s the oldest on the list as he’s 21 years old. He’s a central defender and has already established himself at Castilla. A leader inside the dressing room, he’s an aerial threat and works well in one-on-one situations. Derik’s very disciplined as he follows his coach’s tactical demands very well. Despite his tallness and strength, he’s very fast and can lead the team out of the defense without losing his position. With Pepe reaching an older age, Madrid will sooner or later need a solid central defender to help the team. The good relationship between Ancelotti and Zidane could be very helpful for him, since he might see some first team action this season.
