Odriozola is having a good season at Fiorentina, with whom he has already made 20 Serie A appearances at right-back. And Real Madrid are taking note of his performance.
'AS' reports that 'Los Blancos' will keep Odriozola as soon as he returns from his loan spell next summer. There were doubts about him because of his time at the Bernabeu, but this loan spell has given him a different air and possible options.
Moreover, Ancelotti's reality in that position is stark. Carvajal is not performing well this season and Real Madrid's substitutes do not allow for optimism, as Lucas Vazquez and Nacho are rather forced full-backs.
After taking COVID-19, Ancelotti spoke to Odriozola in the summer and convinced him to go out on loan to Fiorentina, and this has been the best decision to revive his career in the professional elite.
Odriozola has already had a spell at Bayern, where he didn't work out either, but now he has a golden opportunity to settle definitively in Chamartin. To do so, he will have to continue at this pace in these last few months of competition.
