Following Alvaro Arbeloa's promotion to coach Real Madrid Castilla (the club's reserve team), both parties are now keen to extend the 18-year-old's deal.

Advertisement The Spaniard was overlooked despite Dani Carvajal having been ruled out with a serious knee injury earlier in the season and his deputy and Lucas Vazquez struggling at times in that position, with Ancelotti favoring to play Federico Valverde at right-back over the teenager.

It is expected that Fortea will be part of the new first team manager Xabi Alonso's Club World Cup squad.
