In the football market, the renowned website Transfermarkt has made waves with its latest update: Real Madrid Castilla midfielder Jorge Cestero now has a market value of €3 million. The 19-year-old has become one of the revelations of the season and one of Álvaro Arbeloa’s smartest moves.

Initially brought up quietly from the youth ranks, Cestero has turned into the leader and engine of Castilla. Arbeloa himself didn’t hide his admiration after the team’s win over Pontevedra: “This is the Castilla of Manuel Ángel and Palacios… but also of Cestero, who for me is the best number six in Spain right now.”

His rise has been nothing short of remarkable. While other La Fábrica prospects like Diego Aguado, Fortea, Joan Martínez, Yáñez, and Valdepeñas captured most of the attention, Cestero was quietly excelling with the U19s last season. Arbeloa saw his potential early and didn’t hesitate to promote him to Castilla — a decision that’s paying off handsomely.

Now, just three months later, Cestero has become a key starter, dictating the pace in midfield and catching the attention of Xabi Alonso, who has already called him up for first-team training sessions. Scouts across Europe are also taking note.

It’s fair to say the “Cestero revolution” is in full swing — and Real Madrid may have just found their next midfield gem.
