Real Madrid Teen Thiago Pitarch Chooses Spain Over Morocco
Real Madrid’s 18-year-old midfield prodigy Thiago Pitarch has ended all speculation by pledging his international future to Spain. The Fuenlabrada-born dual national confirmed his dream of debuting for La Roja after his call-up to the Under-21 squad. His decision rebuffs Morocco’s aggressive courtship. The Atlas Lions had offered him an accelerated path to the 2026 World Cup, even enlisting veteran keeper Yassine Bounou to persuade him. By siding with Spain, Pitarch follows Barcelona talent Lamine Yamal in choosing La Roja over Morocco. He has already made eight senior appearances this season and set a record as the youngest Spanish starter in a Champions League knockout match.
