Confirmed and Simeone K.O.: He Doesn't Renew with Atlético, Signs Freely with Madrid

Confirmed and Simeone K.O., he doesn't renew with Atlético and signs freely with Real Madrid in the summer

Real Madrid's youth academy has always stood out for the great talents it has developed. Whether through players trained from childhood or transfers of great talents, the Meringue academy is constantly improving. Looking ahead to the next season and taking advantage of their situation, Real Madrid is seeking to sign a youth player from Atlético.

Gabriel Castrelo is the player in question that Real Madrid is looking to transfer as soon as possible. After failing to reach an agreement on his renewal with Atlético de Madrid, the player is free to transfer with any club. Aware of his talent, the Meringue team has already contacted the Spaniard to begin working on his transfer.

Additionally, the team has also informed Atlético's Fútbol Base officials of this move. With this clear show of respect and sportsmanship, Real Madrid is focused on finalizing the transfer of a player who will strengthen the academy.

The academy's new jewel

Having trained in Atlético de Madrid's youth academy for several years, Castrelo has established himself as a great talent. The midfielder stands out, above all, for his remarkable intelligence and excellent ball control. These qualities, besides showing his talent, show a player destined for great things in the near future.

Being only 18 years old, his arrival at Real Madrid's academy would be very beneficial for the player. Despite the interest in staying in the Atlético environment, the player's family was decisive in deciding his early departure.

Demanding the player's presence in the second team and in the first team's training, Atlético de Madrid was not willing to comply with anything. Although his departure is not due to economic issues, it is a reality that Atlético has lost its promising talent.

An opportunity for Real Madrid

Despite having everything in their favor to achieve this signing, Real Madrid will have to wait until summer. Additionally, the interest the player has caused in several clubs could jeopardize this operation. Being a highly sought-after prospect, the club will have to work quickly to secure his arrival next season.
