At his 32 years of age, the central defender is experiencing a season of limited participation despite it being the club where he debuted. He made his debut on December 17, 2014, in the Cup against Oviedo, and since then has gone through different phases until reaching the current one: 413 minutes in the League and 150 more in the knockout tournament, figures that indicate he has not been a regular in the lineups.

The renewal, in the background

While preparing to be a starter, his contractual situation remains unresolved. His contract expires in June 2026 and since early February, no updates have emerged. At that time, the sporting director Erik Bretos emphasized that “Aritz is a very important player for Real, both in the dressing room and on the field”, and explained that both parties had talked about resuming the conversation later: “It doesn’t make much sense to rush a decision before its time; we will see how he feels and how we feel.”

In the short term, starting against Alavés appears as a pause in a year with little playing time. With the focus on closing the league chapter before the final, on Saturday he will have to respond in a preliminary match before attention inevitably shifts to the appointment in Seville.
