Manuel Angel to leave Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna keen

22‑year‑old midfielder Manuel Angel, captain of Real Madrid’s Castilla side, is set to leave the club this summer, though his destination remains unknown. He made four league appearances for Los Blancos last season, completing 90 % of his passes and averaging 1.5 recoveries per game.

Angel has long been regarded as one of the academy’s highest‑rated prospects and captained the Castilla side last season. His strong performances earned him valuable minutes with Real Madrid’s first team.

Newly promoted La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna are seeking starters for next season and have identified Angel as a valuable midfield profile. The club’s interest suggests a possible move to the north‑western team.

Deportivo La Coruna are also reported to be targeting Cesar Palacios, indicating a potential double acquisition from Real Madrid’s academy. Both players could form part of a significant recruitment drive.

Real Madrid’s academy, known as La Fabrica, traditionally secures decent transfer fees and retains partial rights or buy‑back clauses on departing talents. It is likely the club will keep some control over Angel’s future, though the exact arrangement is unclear.
