Thiago Pitarch, a 19-year-old midfielder, will not leave Real Madrid in this transfer window despite Lille's interest. The white club has rejected a proposal from the French team after José Mourinho indicated to the sports management that he plans to use the academy player for the 2026/27 season.

The decision comes in the final week of the transfer window, while Lille was looking for a replacement for Ayyoub Bouaddi, who was transferred to Manchester City for 100 million euros with variables. According to information published by The Athletic, Pitarch was among the candidates chosen by Davide Ancelotti's team.

Thiago Pitarch stays at Real Madrid

The Real Madrid's stance is due to Mourinho's confidence in Thiago Pitarch. The midfielder is part of the first team dynamics, and although he is administratively inscribed with Castilla's registration, the sports planning includes him working regularly under the Portuguese coach's orders.

Pitarch also signed a new contract during the summer after progressing from the youth categories. His sports situation changed during the preseason when he convinced the coaching staff before suffering an injury in the medial collateral ligament of his left knee, which has prevented him from playing in the early matches of the season.

This physical problem explains why he has not yet participated in the preparation friendlies or in the start of LaLiga. However, the injury has not altered Madrid's decision. Mourinho has requested that no offers for the player be accepted, and the rejection of Lille represents the first direct consequence of that position.

Lille was looking for Pitarch to replace Bouaddi

Lille had identified Pitarch for their list following the departure of Ayyoub Bouaddi. The 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder was sold to Manchester City for a deal amounting to 100 million euros, including bonuses, after becoming a key player for the French team.

The need for Davide Ancelotti's team is pressing. Bouaddi's departure leaves a vacancy in the midfield, and the French club is scouring the market to fill it before the summer window closes. Madrid's refusal now forces Lille to activate other candidates.

Pitarch had already attracted interest during the summer. Fulham was among the clubs monitoring his situation, but the player prioritized remaining in Madrid and competing for minutes in the first team. This possibility remains despite the midfield having players like Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Bernardo Silva.

The club's strategy also has a seasonal perspective. Once recovered from his injury, Pitarch will be able to alternate between being registered with Castilla and participating in first-team training and call-ups, a formula that allows Madrid to maintain flexibility in available registrations.

Thiago Pitarch's next step will be to complete his recovery and make himself available to Mourinho to be included in LaLiga matchday squads. Lille will have to look for another substitute for Bouaddi, as Real Madrid has already made it clear through actions that negotiating the midfielder in the final days of the market is out of the question.
