Real Madrid youth prodigy Jesus Fortea is currently at a very important stage of his career.

Though still just a youth player with no real experience of the first-team, Fortea has become the subject of interest for a myriad of top clubs across Europe.

This has put pressure on Real Madrid, who are yet to offer Fortea any real opportunity to break into the first team. And it is this indecisiveness that may prove to be costly for Los Blancos, potentially leading them to lose the player.

The loophole in Fortea’s contract

According to MARCA, Fortea’s contract contains a clause that could allow the youngster to leave Valdebebas unilaterally this summer, without Real Madrid being able to block his departure.

If the club does not register him with the first team next season, Fortea is entitled to leave on loan to any club playing in a higher division than Castilla, provided such an offer arrives.

Ajax, Porto, Bayer Leverkusen and several La Liga clubs have all been credited with interest in the right-back.

The clause came as part of a contract extension signed last season, when Real Madrid moved quickly to fend off a €5 million approach from AC Milan for 50% of his rights.

The club extended his deal until 2028 on lucrative terms, but had to include the exit clause as part of the agreement to secure his signature.

Fortea has since gone on to represent Spain’s Under-20 side at the World Cup, win the Youth League and become a key figure in Castilla’s push for promotion. His market value stands at €3 million, one of the highest in the Castilla squad.

With Carvajal likely to depart and a vacancy emerging at right-back, Real Madrid face a defining decision – promote Fortea to the first team, or risk losing one of La Fabrica’s most exciting prospects.

Valtteri Bottas on Wednesday revealed he deliberately endured a dangerous near-starvation diet to control his weight during his second season as a Formula One driver with Williams 12 years ago.

The 36-year-old Finn, who has returned to F1 with the new American Cadillac team after a season on the sidelines, admitted he was "delusional" and felt "like a drug addict" as he aimed to lose 10 kilos.

In a letter published by The Players’ Tribune, he said he began the diet after his Williams team forecast they would have an overweight car in 2014 and suggested he should lose five kilos.

"This was back when there was no seat-plus-driver weight minimum," explained Bottas, who will line up on the grid for Cadillac for the fourth race of the 2026 season, his 13th in Formula One, in Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.

"If you put a clear goal like that in front of me, I am going to obsess over it ... When you tell me five kilos in two months, my brain thinks, 'five? Why not 10? We can make the car even quicker.'

"So, I started eating steamed broccoli and a bit of steamed cauliflower for almost every meal. I can still smell the broccoli. Wet. Green. Plain. My god. It was like a game to me.

"I would wake up and weigh myself every morning, and when I'd see the number go down, I'd feel a deep satisfaction. I would come back from a 90-minute run and eat my little bowl of steamed broccoli, just to have enough energy so I could go for another 90-minute run.

"I had this GPS watch and my coach could track my training, my heart rate, everything. I knew he would think I was burning myself out, so I started taking the watch off and leaving it at home before my second session. The game became completely consuming."

Bottas said he continued the most extreme diet for two months, admitting "my nerves were shot – I would wake up at 4am on my own, no alarm, my heart beating out of my chest."

- Intense foggy spells -

When pre-season testing began, he said, the Williams car was "actually underweight ... Welcome to F1."

He then began to "feel weird" and suffer "intense foggy spells -- not full-blown panic attacks exactly, but when I was in a crowd, I would start to feel dizzy and had to get out. I wanted to be alone or in the car."

Finally, he said, he went to see a psychologist after the tragic rain-hit 2014 Japanese Grand Prix and Jules Bianchi’s ultimately fatal accident.

The psychologist told him: "You know Valtteri, you don't seem to have any interests outside of racing. Nothing else that brings you joy. You're almost like a machine.

"He was right,” admitted Bottas, winner of 10 Grands Prix. "My whole identity was the car."

He ended the diet and recovered form and health to enjoy a career that took him from Williams to Mercedes in 2017 as number two to seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton and then three years with Sauber to 2024.

His revelation may shock many, but weight control was a critical factor for drivers for many years before regulations were eased.

DORAL, Fla. ― Adam Scott forgot to check his golf ball in the rough and it cost him on Thursday at Trump National Doral's Blue Monster Course.

The 45-year-old Australian, who had birdied two of the first five holes, missed the fairway at the 582-yard par-5 eighth at the 2026 Cadillac Championship and played his second shot from the left rough. But he then discovered that he had played the wrong ball.

He incurred a two-stroke penalty for the mistake, a violation of Rule 6.3(1).

Scott found his original ball and played the rest of the hole with it, making a double-bogey 7 at the eighth and dropping to 2 over.

Scott won at Trump Doral in 2016, the last time the Tour competed here, which makes him the defending champion of sorts — though 10 years removed from when he was playing some of the best golf of his life.

That's not the right ball 😬

A nightmare at No. 8 for Adam Scott as he plays the wrong ball @Cadillac_Champ.
