The Spanish rider finished third in last year's Moto2 world championship and proved one of the sensations of the season in which he accumulated a total of five wins, including the last four rounds of the campaign.
Aldeguer already had the possibility of joining the premier class this year, after interest shown by VR46 in its eagerness to find a replacement for Luca Marini once it was known that the Italian would race with Honda.
However, the penalty clause that 18-year-old Aldeguer had to face in order to be released from his contract with his current Speed Up team in Moto2 prevented the move.
It is understood that even HRC asked for him after Marc Marquez's decision to leave for Gresini Ducati, prior to its hiring of Marini.
His relationship with Speed Up boss Luca Boscoscuro resolved, Aldeguer traveled to Bologna in mid-January and met around a table for lunch with Gigi Dall'Igna, Ducati's general manager.
Ducati, who today supplies the MotoGP grid with eight of its bikes, has agreed with him to place Aldeguer in the workshop of the Pramac team that has close factory ties.
Everything seems set for Jorge Martin to face his last year with Paolo Campinoti's team in 2024, either because for 2025 he will be promoted to the factory Ducati team - presumably as a replacement for Enea Bastianini - or because he decides to leave the Ducati stable.
Martin had a clause in his contract that would have seen him promoted to the factory Ducati squad for 2024 had he won the championship last year.
