Camavinga is recognised as one of the brightest talents in world football, and in the summer of 2021 he completed a dream move to Real Madrid from boyhood club Rennes.

Though he has not featured as much for Los Blancos under Carlo Ancelotti as he certainly would have liked, his SciSports potential is still very high at 130.4.

That is, by some distance, the highest potential rating of any player at Real Madrid under the age of 21.

Potential of Real Madrid Castilla players

Outwith the first team which only has Camavinga under the age of 21, the player with the highest potential is Miguel Gutierrez.

A native of Madrid, Gutierrez actually started his career at Getafe before moving to the Real Madrid youth system.

A left-back, he already has a number of first-team appearances for the club, usually to deputies for the injured Ferland Mendy.

He made his debut in a victory over Cadiz, while his first start came in a 4-1 win versus Granada.

The Spaniard is highly-rated not only in Madrid but around Europe, as Jose Mourinho allegedly attempted to sign him while in charge of Manchester United.

After Gutierrez we have Sergio Arribas. Like the former, Arribas has also made a decent number of first-team appearances for Madrid and has even featured in the Champions League. He is a central midfielder.

Pablo Ramon, a centre-back or left-back, actually made senior appearances for Mallorca before making the switch to Madrid in 2020.

Real Madrid loan players

Real Madrid have eight players out on loan from the first team, while the Castilla side also has a number of younger players out on loan.

Brahim Diaz - Milan

Takefusa Kubo - Mallorca

Alvaro Odriozola - Fiorentina

Reinier - Borussia Dortmund

Borja Mayoral - Roma

Diego Altube - Fuenlabrada

Victor Chust - Cadiz

Augusto Galvan - Santos

From that list, only Takefusa Kubo and Reinier are under the age of 21.

Kubo has a current SciSports skill level of 79.3, while his potential is 110.5,

Reinier, who has been struggling for game time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has a potential rating of 87.5
