Real Madrid reach deal for 19-year old midfield talent

Real Madrid have secured the signing of a new teenage midfield talent, with Manex Rezola arriving from UD Logrones. The 19-year-old is expected to join Real Madrid C initially.

The news follows on from reports that Los Blancos are close to the signing of Guille Gonzalez from Cadiz. Last week Liverpool talent Joshua Abe also met with some of their stars, as the club hosted the 17-year-old, evidence of Real Madrid’s recruitment efforts in the academy game.

Rezola will join up with Real Madrid in January, in what The Athletic report will be worth around €150k in total, with variables on top of it forming a princely sum for a fourth-tier side, as Logrones are. Rezola is described as a technically gifted attacking midfielder used to playing as a number 10. He has also been used out wide for the majority of this season in Segunda Federacion, scoring twice in his 15 appearances – 14 of which were starts.
